Abstract:

All humans eat and all humans speak – activities which in social life often,
but not always, co-occur: We talk while eating and drinking with others, but
food is also a prominent literal and metaphorical discursive topic which
contributes to establishing communities and identities. This omnipresence of
eating and drinking in our daily lives has led to a public fascination with
foodways. The contributions in this edited collection investigate the
connection between language and food from a variety of perspectives. As food
discourses operate on local, global, and mediated levels, they are intertwined
with notions of identity and culture and thus shed light on intimate
understandings of ourselves as human beings. "Talking about Food – The Social
and the Global in Eating Communities" provides up-to-date and
thought-provoking contributions to the linguistics of food. The book is
essential reading for anyone interested in food-related subjects.
