- Class Description:
- LING5900 (LEC001) Topics in Linguistics: Japanese Language and Food (Polly Szatrowski) In 2013, washoku `traditional Japanese cuisine' was honored by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage. According to the BBC World News (Nov. 17, 2009), Tokyo is "the best place to eat", having 160,000 restaurants, and the most Michelin 3-star restaurants in the world. Japan is presently experiencing a food boom as shown by the great number of restaurants featuring cuisine from all over the world in Tokyo and the numerous cooking and eating shows on Japanese television. The Japanese language has developed many ways to talk about food, including many cooking terms and special expressions for the tastes, textures, smells, visual features, and sounds associated with food. In this course, we will address the following questions: 1) How do Japanese people organize their language and bodies around food, i.e., how do they use them to get to and from the table, and to proceed in a meal (e.g., at a sushi restaurant)? 2) How is the Japanese language used to taste, identify and assess food, and how do these fine distinctions and discriminations relate to the Japanese identity? 3) How do Japanese people talk about their experience of food and tell stories about food? 4) What linguistic forms and metaphors does the Japanese language have for food and how does the use of the Japanese language in the context of food relate to gender? 5) How is the Japanese language used to socialize children around food? We will explore the relation between the Japanese language and food by analyzing actual Japanese conversations about and while eating a variety of foods. The class will be most rewarding for students who like to cook/eat, talk about food, and educate their palate. PREREQUISITES: LING 3001 or 3001H or 5001 AND JPN 1012, OR permission of the instructor.
