On the Metaphorics of Sweets and Meats
Journal Title: STYLES OF COMMUNICATION - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
This paper is aimed to be a contribution to the study of foodsemy, that is one of the recently much studied subtypes of metaphorical transfer where the source category are lexical items related to the category FOODSTUUFS while the target domain is the category HUMAN BEING. This type of figurative transfer has received much attention in, among others, the works of Rzeszów-based semanticists, such as Kleparski (2008a, 2008b) Cymbalista (2009) and Kudła (2016). In what follows we argue for both the sensory and non-sensory nature of foodsemic transfers on the one hand, and – on the other hand – try to provide evidence to show that one may speak of certain paths which this type of metaphor follows.
