About this book

Affectivity is essential in language learning and new ways of studying it must be considered. In this volume, the authors bring together two particularly relevant aspects of affectivity that are rarely related: the prosody of speech as the physical manifestation of affectivity, and affectivity involved in the learning process, with a strong component of (inter)culture and identity. In sum, overly narrow perspectives on affective language can only be avoided if we continue to bring together scientific and didactic studies of affectivity as a broad and diverse whole.
