*The International Linguistic Association 61st Annual Conference*
*Hofstra University, Hempstead, New York, March 11-13, 2016*

*Second Call for Papers*
*Major Theme: Culinary Linguistics*

Plenary speakers:

   - Stefan Diemer and Cornelia Gerhardt (Universität des Saarlandes)
   - Polly Szatrowsky (University of Minnesota)
   - Robert Leonard (Hofstra University)

Recently, much attention has been given to the idea of the language of food
in the media and among linguists and other scholars across the disciplines.
In addition, a number of books concerning this topic have been published in
the last three years. Authors analyze food from various angles such as the
linguistic history of culinary terms; the linguistics of food advertising
and culinary arts programs; the linguistic components of recipes, menus,
labels, restaurant reviews; the discourse of food production and
consumption; and the comparison of cooking and dining practices across
cultures. The ILA invites submissions that explore these and other
connections between linguistics and food.

Topics may include (but are not limited to) the following:
•    Menu and beverage-label words
•    Linguistic components of menus
•    Food(s) as metaphor
•    The psychology of food
•    Culinary arts and the media
•    Fusion cuisine and language  contact/change
•    Modern constructs of the language of dining
•    Food on the internet
•    Anthropological linguistic studies on language and food
•    Verbal and non-verbal language of food
•    Food in children’s literature
•    Good foods, bad foods
•    Food and religion
•    Food, language and identity
•    Sociological approaches to food & class

In keeping with the ILA tradition, we also invite individual papers or
posters on other
areas of linguistics. Proposals also may be submitted for 90-minute panels.
Each
individual or panel presentation should last no more than thirty minutes,
including time for questions and discussion.

*Guidelines for Proposals*
A paper or poster title and abstract of between 300 and 400 words,
excluding references, is required along with a summary abstract for the
conference booklet of no more than 150 words. The author's name,
institutional affiliation, mailing address, and phone number must also be
included. Proposals will be blind-reviewed for quality and originality.

Submissions should mainly contain new material and must not have been
