The Cognitive and Cultural Connotations of Bilingualism
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study is aimed to analyze the existing association between language, emotions and culture in the process of learning a new language and the use of it. To test the validity of the hypothesis that bilingual bilinguals feel and experience differences in their respective languages, a bibliographical study of the different interdisciplinary theories of international researchers is carried out. The results suggest that the mental images of the bilingual differ according to the language in which they thought and that there is a great variety of linguistic experiences in the bilingual people as well as a great number of variables are present in the execution of different intellectual tasks. The objective was to define the extra linguistic characteristics of bilinguals and cultural adjustments resulting from exposure to two cultures. Language was analyzed as a tool and concluded by determining the need to develop and follow special processes in bilingual education, considering the psychological, cultural and social characteristics, among others, of the bilingual student.
