Do you think that there is any validity to the "performance" aspect? If you are speaking in another language, perhaps it gives you the ability to hit the "reset" button on who you are and start over. If you are normally considered to be a sheepish person in your native tongue, perhaps speaking in another language gives you the opportunity to "perform" differently? I can speak some spanish and I tend to be a bit more "suave" when speaking it. Why? I think it's a bit of what you say, the language itself has some pre-conceived traits, but I certainly embellish these traits. I'm a bit more passionate in spanish than I am in english. Plus, it's just really fun to speak.
