“…By contrast, when information about emotional valence was available from the cue (Experiment 2), participants displayed lower sensitivity to negative words at the stage of stimulus encoding (as indexed by the EPN) and semantic processing (as indexed by the N400). These results suggest that emotional cueing elicits strong anticipation effects and that socio-emotional information coded in emojis carries sufficiently meaningful information to shape early and late stages of meaning processing (Hernández-Gutiérrez et al, 2021Maquate et al, 2022;Rohr & Rahman, 2015;Yang et al, 2021).…”

Bilingualism

Prior research suggests that bilinguals show reduced sensitivity to negative content when operating in the second language (L2). The available evidence, however, is limited to language comprehension. We tested the production of emotional words in Polish (L1)–English (L2) bilinguals in two EEG studies that manipulated emotional cueing. In Experiment 1 (neutral context), white or black circles indicated whether participants should read aloud (shadow) or translate a subsequently presented word. N400 amplitudes were selectively reduced for negative L2 words regardless of the task. In Experiment 2 (emotional context), we used black or white emojis, either sad or neutral, as cues. The previous interaction between word valence and language of operation vanished, but late positive potential amplitudes elicited by negative words were larger for translation from L2 to L1 (i.e., production in Polish) than L1 to L2. These results validate and extend to production previous findings of attenuated emotional response in L2 comprehension.
