Komponent kulturowy w nauczaniu słownictwa na zajęciach z języka obcego na poziomie akademickim na przykładzie języka włoskiego – watykańskie kulinaryzmy jako kulturemy i elementy socjolektalne
A cultural component in teaching vocabulary within an academic course of Italian – Vatican culinary terms as culturemes and sociolect-based elements

Summary/Abstract: Meals are commonly known to be a crucial element of life, culture and interpersonal relationships in the Italian Peninsula. In Italian dictionaries of phraseology, idiomatic expressions representing names of culinary items constitute the vast majority ofentries. This is a sign of the importance of meals, also considered as feasting together and the centrism of Italian food. As the cultural component is an integral element of language education at an academic level, Italian culinary items as components of idiomatic and fixed expressions in Vatican culinary items related to culturally rooted habits and secular Catholic rituals will be analyzed. The study presented in the paper aims at: i) clarifying the sociolect specifics of the Vatican clergy and kitchen staff members; ii) determining the importance of food in the socio-cultural reality of the Vatican as a type of a cultural code and an element of the regional/national culture; iii) emphasizing the essence of semantic and lexical problems related to food in academic intercultural didactics, e.g. a specialization proseminar in linguistics or translation studies, or the university instructor’s own thematic seminar on culinary matters in Italy.
