PROVERBS AND METAPHORS IN THE ENGLISH CULINARY LANGUAGE
Journal Title: Studii şi cercetări filologice - Seria Limbi Străine Aplicate - Year 2016, Vol 15, Issue
Abstract
Food is “an essential source to survival with great symbolic force, food has been central to human history”. (Fellner, 2013: 243). The aim of this article is to emphasize the strong relationship between food and cooking, on the one hand, and language and communication, on the other. Culinary words and concepts infiltrated local sayings and proverbs in English culture, thus becoming important pieces of cultural and historical evidence, if reliably dated. Culinary metaphors are equally important, as they reflect and reveal cultural and social realities.
