Abstract:

Many studies on the language of food examine English or adopt discourse
analysis. This volume makes a fresh attempt to analyze Japanese, focusing on
non-discursive units. It offers state-of-the-art data-oriented studies,
including methods of analysis in line with Cognitive Linguistics. It
orchestrates relatable and intriguing topics, from sound-symbolism in rice
cracker naming to meanings of aesthetic sake taste terms. The chapters show
that the language of food in Japanese is multifaceted: for instance,
expressivity is enhanced by ideophones, as sensory words iconically depicting
perceptual experiences and as nuanced words flexibly participating in
neologization; context-sensitivity is exemplified by words deeply imbued with
socio-cultural constructs; creativity is portrayed by imaginative expressions
grounded in embodied experience. The volume will be a valuable resource for
students and researchers, not only in linguistics but also in neighboring
disciplines, who seek deeper insights into how language interacts with food in
Japanese or any other language.
