Stanford University linguist and MacArthur Fellow Dan Jurafsky dives into the hidden history of food.
Why do we eat toast for breakfast, and then toast to good health at dinner? What does the turkey we eat on Thanksgiving have to do with the country on the eastern Mediterranean? Can you figure out how much your dinner will cost by counting the words on the menu?
In The Language of Food, Stanford University professor and MacArthur Fellow Dan Jurafsky peels away the mysteries from the foods we think we know. Thirteen chapters evoke the joy and discovery of reading a menu dotted with the sharp-eyed annotations of a linguist.
Jurafsky points out the subtle meanings hidden in filler words like "rich" and "crispy," zeroes in on the metaphors and storytelling tropes we rely on in restaurant reviews, and charts a microuniverse of marketing language on the back of a bag of potato chips.
The fascinating journey through The Language of Food uncovers a global atlas of culinary influences. With Jurafsky's insight, words like ketchup, macaron, and even salad become living fossils that contain the patterns of early global exploration that predate our modern fusion-filled world.
From ancient recipes preserved in Sumerian song lyrics to colonial shipping routes that first connected East and West, Jurafsky paints a vibrant portrait of how our foods developed. A surprising history of culinary exchange—a sharing of ideas and culture as much as ingredients and flavors—lies just beneath the surface of our daily snacks, soups, and suppers.
Engaging and informed, Jurafsky's unique study illuminates an extraordinary network of language, history, and food. The menu is yours to enjoy.

读后感
评分7.8/10 还记得是去年十一月初在muji吃饭看到了台湾版，非常感兴趣，于是顺其自然地就在双十一购入了，但它排到的档期还是比较迟的，基于新年消耗主义作祟还是决定不能囤货，要刷完本书，豆瓣上本书的英文原版→台版→大陆版评分简直是阶梯式下降，但是基于对斯坦福语言学+...

一本关于食物的冷知识大全，大概只有资深吃货才会拿起这本书吧。本书专栏风，随便挑了几章，仅sex drug and sushi roll这章触动了我的nerd神经，看进去了…
评分很喜欢！！语言学家加资深吃货的完美组合！！你可以试试看Jurafsky & Martin！不亦乐乎 :）打开的菜单文化绝对是装逼技能Get之一！！哈哈哈哈哈哈～ 装逼利器：）
评分近几年读书越来越功利，经常不觉得阅读是享受了。读本食物与语言学的书，不仅因为好玩，也想收集些社交的谈资，导致觉得正确的阅读姿势是正襟危坐书桌前、下划线、OneNote，结果就是拖了好久才开始读。作者在前言里说他祖母最爱一本名著，因为不喜欢里面的一个角色，读一章跳一章，也是一种读书方法。看得我莞尔。然后毫无心理压力的只读了菜谱词汇与定价，main course，和中国没有甜点那三章。回到初衷，完全没有记笔记，但是真的蛮好玩
评分超有趣的一本书！语言学家+吃货这种组合简直不能再赞！ketchup跟我大天朝有啥关系，土耳其为毛叫Turkey，以及用计算语言学办法分析菜单、餐厅评价和广告，顺带还能揭示人类认知心理（比如所谓的Pollyanna effect），语言学怪咖果真注孤生…
