The representation of emotion vs. emotion-laden words in English and Spanish in the Affective Simon Task (2011, background): “Although researchers have questioned the distinction between emotion words and emotionladen words (cf.

Narrative production in monolingual and bilingual children with specific language impairment (2015, background): “We hypothesize that TD bilingual children’s sensitivity to cross-linguistic differences in the expression of emotion was more enhanced compared to other types of mental state terms (Chen & Yan, 2011; Pavlenko, 2008).”
Understanding Chinese high school students’ Foreign Language Enjoyment: Validation of the Chinese version of the Foreign Language Enjoyment scale (2018, neutral): “Besides, as Pavlenko (2008) argued, an emotional word in one language might activate different conceptual representations in other language.”

How foreign language shapes moral judgment (2015, background): “Another potential issue is that some emotion words might lack direct translation equivalents in a foreign language (Pavlenko, 2008).”
Memory for emotional words in bilinguals: Do words have the same emotional intensity in the first and in the second language? (2010, background): “Although the majority of research about emotionally charged words has been conducted in the monolingual domain, in the last decade several studies have begun to explore what happens with bilinguals (see Pavlenko, 2008, for a review).”
