Sensory Language and the Semantics of Taste

Sensory Language and the Semantics of Taste is an interdisciplinary research project in which competence of linguistic and food sensory science are combined to better understand how sensory language is used and evolves over time, with focus on consumer language.

The research team has worked on taste vocabulary in different languages and focuses now on consumer language of plant-based food products. Talking about taste – sometimes challenging in daily life.

We take taste literally.
