Abstract:

The author studies ethnic stereotypes in the history of English from the
perspective of Cognitive Linguistics. He views an ethnic stereotype as an
idealised cognitive model (ICM) which consists of a cluster of metonymic
submodels (such as BODY, CUISINE, NAME, etc.). Each submodel may trigger the
formation of an attributive ethnonym, which ascribes some attribute to the
target group. While such terms are mostly derogatory, context plays a crucial
role in their perception. The analysis proper focuses on foodsemic ethnonyms
(most of which activate the submodel of CUISINE). Out of 168 items, above 50%
follow the «FOODSTUFF FOR ETHNIC GROUP» or «FOODSTUFF EATER FOR ETHNIC GROUP»
metonymy. Most examples come from Am.E., with Mexicans being the most
frequently described target group.

which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal

procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if 
your company operates such a program.
