LANGUAGE CHOICE AND LINGUISTIC IDENTITY IN BILINGUALISM
Individuals who speak two or more languages may exhibit specific behaviors and speech strategies when communicating in different languages. The process of acquiring a new language contributes not only to the development of linguistic competence but also to the formation of a “second language identity.” Furthermore, a person’s stance on a particular issue is often closely linked to the language they use, with language choice affecting both the style and content of their expressions. In speech produced in different languages, emotional states such as shame, anger, or embarrassment may manifest differently, illustrating the complex relationship between language and emotion. Moreover, expressing the same idea in different languages significantly influences its impact and reception. This article analyzes the theoretical and practical aspects of these issues
