More DescriptionDiscourses of eating and drinking are situated at the crossroads of everyday language, advertising and special language discourse, media (internet, TV, opera, etc.) and literature.

Essens- und Trinkensdiskurse stehen im Schnittpunkt von Alltagssprache, Werbe- und Fachdiskursen, Medien (Internet, Fernsehen, Oper, etc.) und Literatur.
