Sessions
Cognitive Influence of Food and Taste Terminology
The presenter will examine the cross-linguistic influence of food and taste related language and how it influences cognition and language learning. The presentation will examine ideophones, conceptual metaphor, and a comparison of schematic mental associations within the domain of food and taste between Japanese English learners and native English speakers. The presentation will also present evidence from a study to support the claim that language influences cognition.
