Abstract The sense of taste has been considered an “inferior” sense for a long time, both in philosophical and scientific fields of investigation (Cavalieri 2011. Gusto: l‘intelligenza del palato. Bari: GLF editori Laterza). However, the recent growing interest in Cognitive Science has driven scholars to a reconsideration of the role of taste in human cognition. This paper intends to investigate such a role in a corpus of five Shakespearean plays. To do so, I conducted an analysis by looking at the occurrences of seven taste terms. The research aims at exploring the metaphorical occurrences of the lexicon of taste, i.e. concordances in which a taste word does not describe food or an actual taste sensation. I propose an idealised cognitive model to organise such occurrences that involves a central mapping from which others derive, in keeping with Kövecses (2010. Metaphor: A Practical Introduction. Oxford: Oxford University Press). Results are consistent in showing the role of taste in the motivation of metaphorical expression in Shakespeare’s plays.

“摆脱一个好妻子,一个甜蜜的女人”:莎士比亚的品味词

摘要长期以来,在哲学和科学研究领域,味觉一直被认为是“次等”感(Cavalieri,2011年。Gusto:l'intelligenza del palato。Bari:GLF编辑,Laterza)。但是,最近对认知科学的兴趣不断增长,驱使学者们重新考虑了味觉在人类认知中的作用。本文旨在研究莎士比亚戏剧中的五个角色。为此,我通过查看七个味觉术语的出现进行了分析。该研究旨在探讨味觉词典的隐喻出现,即味觉词未描述食物或实际味觉的一致性。我提出了一种理想的认知模型来组织此类事件,其中涉及一个中心映射,其他人可以从中得出映射,与Kövecses保持一致(2010年。隐喻:实用介绍,牛津:牛津大学出版社)。结果一致地表明了品味在莎士比亚戏剧中隐喻表达动机中的作用。
