Resumen
Recent years have witnessed revival of academic interest in the study of two areas. One is related to processing of emotional input, both linguistic and nonlinguistic; the other is centred on mechanisms underlying bilingual language comprehension and production. The current volume comprises substantial contributions by researchers working within various fields of linguistics and psychology. The Authors elaborate upon cognitively sophisticated frameworks for conceptualising the complexities of attitudes towards and beliefs about language, i.e. language regard (Preston 2010), and for explaining how affective processing interacts with linguistic performance (Sharwood Smith and Truscott 2014). Affective processing is further explored by Kissler and Strehlow (this volume), who offer a neurophysiological account of the interplay of emotionally charged language and non-linguistic behaviour. Further experimental evidence on language processing is provided by Cieślicka et al. (this volume), who investigate the effects of factors determining patterns in figurative language processing in bilinguals. Vital factors playing a role in bilingual language processing are also discussed at length in the final contribution to the volume (Jankowiak and Rataj, this volume), which, once again, takes a neurophysiological perspective. Together, the presented accounts offer complementary views on the intricacies of linguistic and affective processing and their interactions in monolingual and bilingual populations.
