Abstract

Converging evidence suggests that emotions are often dulled in one’s foreign language. Here, we paired fMRI with a naturalistic viewing paradigm (i.e., original vs. dubbed versions of sad, fun and neutral movie clips) to investigate the neural correlates of emotion perception as a function of native (L1) and foreign (L2) language context. Watching emotional clips in L1 (vs. L2) reflected in activations of anterior temporal cortices involved in semantic cognition, arguably indicating a closer association of emotion concepts with the native language. The processing of fun clips in L1 (vs. L2) reflected in enhanced response of the right amygdala, suggesting a deeper emotional experience of positively valenced stimuli in the L1. Of interest, the amygdala response to fun clips positively correlated with participants’ proficiency in the L2, indicating that a higher L2 competence may reduce emotional processing differences across a bilingual’s two languages. Our findings are compatible with the view that language provides a context for the construction of emotions.

原语电影与配音电影:对我们大脑和情绪的影响。
越来越多的证据表明,情绪在外语中往往会变得迟钝。在这里,我们将 fMRI 与自然观赏范式(即悲伤、有趣和中性电影片段的原版与配音版)配对,研究情绪感知与母语(L1)和外语(L2)语境的神经相关性。用母语(相对于外语)观看情绪片段时,参与语义认知的前颞皮层会被激活,这可能表明情绪概念与母语的联系更加紧密。用母语(与母语相比)处理有趣的片段时,右侧杏仁核的反应增强,这表明在母语中对正面价值刺激有更深刻的情感体验。有趣的是,杏仁核对有趣片段的反应与参与者的第二语言能力呈正相关,这表明较高的第二语言能力可能会减少双语者两种语言之间的情感处理差异。我们的研究结果与语言为情绪建构提供语境的观点是一致的。

期刊介绍: An interdisciplinary journal, Brain and Language publishes articles that elucidate the complex relationships among language, brain, and behavior. The journal covers the large variety of modern techniques in cognitive neuroscience, including functional and structural brain imaging, electrophysiology, cellular and molecular neurobiology, genetics, lesion-based approaches, and computational modeling. All articles must relate to human language and be relevant to the understanding of its neurobiological and neurocognitive bases. Published articles in the journal are expected to have significant theoretical novelty and/or practical implications, and use perspectives and methods from psychology, linguistics, and neuroscience along with brain data and brain measures.
