Food, Language, and Society: Communication in Japanese Foodways delves into the intricate relationship between language, food, and culture in Japanese society. By employing cognitive science and cultural studies, this book explores the fascinating ways in which language, food, and culture intertwine to shape the fabric of Japanese society. The exploration of how, where, and by whom food and food experiences are described presents a wealth of opportunities to investigate the multifaceted relationships between language and culture from diverse multidisciplinary perspectives.
Linguistic analysis of the language of food sheds light on the cognitive information that underpins and influences people's rhetorical choices regarding foodways. Through detailed discussions, it becomes evident that loanwords, mimetics, cooking terms, and metaphors play pivotal roles in enhancing the expressive power of the language of food. Moreover, food discourse situated within broader social and cultural contexts reflects the deeply embedded social norms and cultural practices that permeate both our gustatory and culinary experiences.
Food narratives, found in cookbooks and advertisements, serve as a means of virtual interpersonal communication, indexing individual and group identity. They provide a platform for reexamining gender and other social norms in response to changes in society. Examined from the interplay of linguistic and sociocultural perspectives, Food, Language, and Society illuminates the form, use, and social significance of the language of food.
This book offers valuable insights into the multifaceted ways in which language, food, and culture interact in Japanese society, contributing to our understanding of the complex dynamics that shape this unique cultural landscape.
