Il ruolo della seconda lingua nel processo decisionale bilingue

Using a second language changes how bilingual individuals experience emotions and make decisions. The Foreign Language Effect demonstrates that engaging with a non-native language can reduce emotional impact, promoting more analytical and rational thinking. This study focuses on exploring how these phenomena influence decision-making and cognitive flexibility in multilingual speakers. Translanguaging, the fluid and integrated use of multiple languages, is closely connected to this emotional and mental flexibility. Indeed, language is not just a tool for communication but a key element shaping thought and choices. These insights provide valuable perspectives for education, language strategy, and understanding the role language plays in everyday life.
