Overview
Food and Language: Discourses and Foodways across Cultures presents an overview of how discourses and foodways 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 takes linguistic and anthropological perspectives while also bringing in research from other related disciplines. It assumes no previous linguistics knowledge but provides students with the understanding and skills needed to pursue further research on the subject. With a full glossary at the end of the book, and additional tools (such as recommended readings and video links) hosted on an eResources page, this book serves as an ideal introduction for students taking courses on food in Anthropology departments, Linguistics departments, and across the humanities and social sciences--
