Food and terminology. Expressing sensory experience in several languages

Guest editors:

Rita Temmerman (Vrije Universiteit Brussels) 
Danièle Dubois (CNRS Paris)

Introduction to the theme

Human cognition is largely experiential. Humans experience their environment
through their senses and they learn and reflect within the confines of a
physical body (embodied understanding). Language contributes to structuring
sensory experience into categories and is needed to communicate about it.
Descriptors of sensory experience can be seen as attempts to objectify the
world by negotiating the meaning of the descriptors with peers. To express the
enhanced experience of a reality that human beings are part of, they coin
neologisms or configure common sense meanings of words within a domain
specific terminology. Contributors to this special issue are asked to discuss
their research results on how speakers of different languages and pertaining
to different cultures use sensory descriptors related to food and beverage
quality and how neologisms are coined or how common sense word meanings are
reconfigured. What are the implications for lexicons of descriptors in several
languages? What are the implications for translators of e.g. tasting notes?
The editors invite submissions that present innovative research or address a
central conceptual, theoretical, or empirical investigation on sensory
experience related to food and beverages. The emphasis is on expressing what
one experiences in specialized language using descriptors and new product
names. Co-creation and the type of practice involved (degustation, description
of product properties, marketing, etc.,) may result in terminological
variation. Possible topics include but are not limited to the following: 

1. The study of descriptors and neologisms in tasting notes in one or several
languages. 
2. How we express what we taste in words and in what way the tasting
experience is multi-sensorial and culture-bound. 
3. The analysis of cognitive (psychological as well as linguistic) processes
involved in defining a term for a (food) product by e.g. panels of experts in
sensory analysis. 
4. Whether and if so how descriptors may analytically refer to different
sensory modalities used by trained assessors. 
5. Do descriptors of trained assessors differ from consumers' descriptors? 
6. Whether and if so how descriptors of different sensory modalities used by
trained assessors and consumers differ across language borders. 
7. Guidelines for creating lexicons of descriptors in several languages. 
8. Case studies on the description of sensory experience in different
languages as a representation of sensory variation in different cultures. 9.
Whether wine and beer terminology is highly figurative because it depends on a
weakly standardized practice rather than a solid and comprehensive range of
descriptors.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
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.
