subject

description

Food, as one of the most important components of human existence, in addition to its primary function associated with satisfying hunger, is also an element of culture. Specific beliefs, culinary habits, and even superstitious magical practices were created around this issue over the centuries. Food and its names are also an essential element of language, as evidenced by numerous linguistic studies devoted to this part of Polish vocabulary. The aim of this paper is to present and discuss selected Silesian maxims that include words belonging to the culinary category, understood as ready meals, which are a product of culinary arts, or as everything that is connected with preparing and cooking food. The paper aims to present a slice of reality preserved in Silesian maxims and their linguistic functions. It also indicates the importance of their meaning and their relation with the regional culture.
