- Title
The Language of Food in Japanese: Cognitive Perspectives and Beyond.
- Authors
Hasegawa, Yoko
- Abstract
Discourse about food and cuisine is, she argues, the genre par excellence for cognitive linguistics research because eating is intrinsically amalgamated into multimodal perception in the socio-cultural context. The authors argue that actual eating and imagined eating are expressed with varying degrees of iconicity: the former induces a more iconic use of ideophones, whereas the latter exhibits less iconicity. Section II, "Mimetics and sound-symbolism in food names and food descriptions", is composed of three chapters.
