Welcome to the Research Network on the Linguistics of Food, hosted by the Association Internationale de Linguistique Appliquée / International Association of Applied Linguistics. 

Join us for AILA in 2021!

We are pleased to announce a day-long symposium at the next World Congress of Applied Linguistics, to be held in Groningen, the Netherlands, rescheduled for 15-20 August, 2021.

S151: Whose taste matters? Monday, 16 August: 8:30-12:00 & 14:30-18:00. For preliminary programme, see the website.

We hope to see you there!

Symposium details: The title of the symposium (S151) is "Whose taste matters? Authority, meaning, and culture in the linguistics of food." The symposium will feature papers that address global and cultural challenges pertaining to the linguistics of food, focusing on how ‘taste’ is a negotiated concept within lexical and embodied linguistic practices. The symposium will be of interest to researchers working on food assessments or identity, semantics of taste, and food-related media. 

More information to follow as the Congress approaches.
