| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Japanese language has a lot of onomatopoeias, and so it is with food texture expressions, such as “baribari” and “nechanecha”. Therefore it is sometimes difficult to translate Japanese onomatopoeias to other languages. This study constructed a food texture dictionary of Japanese-English using five rice crackers of different hardness by collecting texture expressions from Japanese speakers and English speakers (Australia and UK). It was also verified there was an accordance in perceived “hardness” among Japanese. In addition, differences in onomatopoeias between actual and imaginary eating, and, expressions obtained by actual eating and printed expressions were revealed.
