The language of food will be investigated across genres and time with regard to the uses it fulfils for English speakers. Discourses or text types include the recipe and its modern forms (food blogs, cooking shows) or talk at the dinner table. We will discuss food both as trade products (e.g. labelling rules on packages or signs in supermarkets) and as lifestyle choices (e.g. food porn or veganism). Assignments depend on whether the summer term will be taught online or on campus. They may include a quiz, presentations or papers. |
