In this extraordinary new work, Dr. Backhouse undertakes a semantic
study of taste terms in modern spoken Japanese. Through an
investigation of the range of vocabulary available for the
description of taste qualities, and their interrelationship in
terms of meaning, Dr. Backhouse presents a sensitive elucidation of
the structure of Japanese taste terms, which has significant
implications for anthropological linguistics. He explores important
semantic issues, such as the relationship between evaluative and
descriptive meaning, the intralinguistic mechanisms at work in
metaphor, and draws illuminating connections between the lexical
field of color and that of taste.
