I do not think you can link the change to the language alone. There are so many other reasons why a persons personality would change.. Have you felt such a difference when you changed languages?
With conscious mind, I concur with the study. I think I do indeed sub-consciously change my personality with change of languages. p.s. I’m bi-lingual and part of two cultures.
i definitely dont agree…ur personality is the result of ur thoughts which does not change with culture and language…..language plays a secondary role it only enhances ur thoughts but not ur ultimate personality…
