Enhancing linguistic research through critical use of race and ethnicity information
All linguistic research has the potential to reproduce or challenge racial notions. —Linguistic Society of America Statement on Race (2019) The LSA Statement on Race stems from a larger conversation around undertheorized treatment of race and ethnicity in linguistics research and practice. In this commentary, we define racial identity and ethnicity and explain their relevance for linguistic research. We discuss considerations that linguistic rese…
When cultural antagonism does not align with language bias
Based on a sample of 65 German immigrants living in Greece, an understudied minority in this context, this paper explores the connection between participants' attitudes towards the heritage and host dimensions and emotions when using the heritage language (L1). Statistical analysis of survey data revealed that sociolinguistic practices reflected cultural affiliations without cross-interferences. Socialization in the L1 predicted immigrants' ident…
‘Am I Sincere about My Feelings?’
The first language (L1) is generally considered by multilinguals as the one in which they feel more ‘themselves’ in emotional circumstances. Affective socialization in a foreign language (LX) can help speakers develop a similar level of authenticity when using that language. This study is conducted on a sample of 468 migrants living in Anglophone countries who are L1 speakers of Italian and LX speakers of English, the language of the host society…
A Constellation of Voices
Multilinguals often report having different perceptions of themselves when switching languages, typically indicating their first language (L1) as the one in which they feel more authentic and describing a sense of detachment when using any foreign language (LX). This phenomenon amplifies in migration contexts, where the LX is the language of the host society. The present study approaches the topic in a holistic way, by interconnecting the L1 and …
Does expressing emotions in the local language help migrants acculturate
Previous research has shown that emotional patterns are modified by linguistic and cultural influence. The present paper adopts a different perspective on the topic, investigating whether expressing emotions in the local language (LX) could predict migrants’ acculturation attitudes towards the heritage (L1) and the host (LX) cultures. Quantitative results from 468 migrants, supported by insights from 5 interviews, indicated that a frequent use of…
Do the languages migrants use in private and emotional domains define their cultural belonging more than the passport they have
Do interlocutors or conversation topics affect migrants’ sense of feeling different when switching languages
A majority of multilinguals report feeling different when switching languages [Dewaele, J.-M. (2016). “Why do So Many Bi- and Multilinguals Feel Different When Switching Languages?” International Journal of Multilingualism 13 (1): 92–105; Panicacci, A., and J.-M. Dewaele.

A voice from elsewhere’
The majority of multilinguals immersed in different cultures report feeling different when switching languages. Although the influence of personality on self-perceptions has been investigated, little attention has been paid to acculturation aspects. The present study is based on a mixed-method approach combining questionnaire and interview data. Participants are 468 Italian migrants living in English-speaking countries. Results suggest that parti…
