This book is suited for students and scholars in anthropology, linguistics, and the humanities seeking an introduction to the intersection of food and language. It also appeals to curious readers interested in cultural communication through food.

This book presents an overview of how we talk about food, how we interact in its presence, how we use food to communicate, and how social interaction feeds us. It takes linguistic and anthropological perspectives while also bringing in research from other related disciplines.

Description

Food and Language: Discourses and Foodways across Cultures explores in innovative ways how food and language are intertwined across cultures and social settings.

How do we talk about food? How do we interact in its presence? How do we use food to communicate? And how does social interaction feed us?

The book assumes no previous linguistic or anthropological knowledge but provides readers with the understanding to pursue further research on the subject.

With a full glossary at the end of the book and additional tools hosted on an eResources page (such as recommended web and video links and some suggested research exercises), this book serves as an ideal introduction for courses on food, language, and food-and-language in anthropology departments, linguistics departments, and across the humanities and social sciences.

It will also appeal to any reader interested in the semiotic interplay between food and language.
