The study is based on the assumption that emotions represent a dependent, moderating, or independent variable of a person's everyday behavior. They are not just the result of social configurations, but also have an influence on perceptions & interpretations of social factors thereby affecting the external environment. The paper analyzes the ways in which emotional disposition plays a mediating role between the interaction with immigrants & the development of xenophobic attitudes on the one hand & active discrimination against minorities on the other. Even though the findings show that such a relationship exists, the connection is weaker than was previously supposed. This may be due to the fact that (mostly rare) actual experiences with immigrants have less impact on the development of permanent emotional dispositions than have crucial biographical events. Hence, we come to the conclusion that in order to understand the mediating process of emotions with regard to immigrants, it will be necessary to place more emphasis on the analysis of the situational causes of the relevant emotional dispositions. 2 Tables, 1 Figure, 17 References.

Was plurilingualism the exception or the norm in traditional Eurasian scholarship? This volume presents a selection of primary sources—in many cases translated into English for the first time—with introductions that provide fascinating historical materials for challenging notions of the ways in which traditional Eurasian scholars dealt with plurilingualism and monolingualism. Comparative in approach, global in scope, and historical in orientation, it engages with the growing discussion of plurilingualism and focuses on fundamental scholarly practices in various premodern and early modern societies—Chinese, Indian, Mesopotamian, Jewish, Islamic, Ancient Greek, and Roman—asking how these were conceived by the agents themselves. The volume will be an indispensable resource for courses on these subjects and on the history of scholarship and reflection on language throughout the world
