This book explores sensory studies in Russian linguistics, mapping key concepts and presenting a roadmap of research trends. Its empirical part draws on the Russian National Corpus to analyze the taste adjectives, showing how they extend beyond food-related meanings to express emotions, relationships, and cultural values. The study offers insights for cross-linguistic comparison, translation studies, and cultural analysis. In the Turkish academic context, it provides the first systematic introduction to Russian sensory linguistics and demonstrates how a corpus-based approach can be applied in sensory studies.
