Bilingual speakers
experience time differently
Andres Avila
Background
A study from lancaster and stockholm university found that people who are
bilingual experience time differently depending on language context in which they
are estimating the duration of events.
Bilinguals often go back and forth between their languages consciously and
unconsciously.
Study
Researchers used native swedish bilinguals: Spoke Swedish and Spanish.
Were asked to say duration in two languages. Duracion (Spanish) and Tid
(Swedish)
results showed our language creeps into our everyday emotions and perceptions
more than we realise
Summary
People who are bilingual experience time differently than the people who only
speak one language. Professor Athanasopoulos“There's evidence to suggest that
mentally going back and forth between different languages on a daily basis
confers advantages on the ability to learn and multi-task, and even long-term
benefits for mental well-being”. Athanasopoulos also suggest that bilinguals are
more flexible thinkers. This study shows the many benefits of being bilingual.
