Language identity
Anastasiia Yezhyzhanska
Anastasiia Yezhyzhanska’s project LANGUAGE IDENTITY aims to help gain a better understanding of ourselves and our emotions through the languages we speak. Her research finds that those who are able to speak multiple languages, claim to experience a change in personalities when changing between them. Particularly bilinguals feel different levels of emotions when they speak their first language as compared to their secondary languages, lending greater importance to self-identifying ourselves by language as it affects the way we feel, think and behave.
LAUNGUAGE IDENTITY collects the data of spoken language of bilinguals and analyses levels of their emotional reactions to different emotional phrases. The product is used in an isolated booth, measuring the user’s levels of emotions through E4 wristband technology. The collected data is visualised at the end of the user experience in the form of a pendant. This lasting memory can be shared on social media with friends.
