Mapping Emotional Language

This research study investigates how the emotional experience of language shifts across different languages. What feels raw and immediate in one language might feel distant or performative in another. You'll explore your instinctive language choices for expressing key emotions and map the sensory and emotional qualities each phrase carries, helping reveal the hidden "emotional climate" of multilingual communication and how design can make these dynamics tangible.
