Meeting Description: 

Whose taste matters? Authority, meaning, and culture in the linguistics of
food.

This symposium addresses global and cultural challenges within the linguistics
of food, focusing on how taste (and other senses) is not simply a property of
individuals or of foods, but rather becomes a contested and negotiated concept
through lexical and embodied linguistic practices. In short, ‘taste’ is a
fluid concept and has implications not only for the field of linguistics, but
also across the sensory and social sciences. The symposium will bring together
researchers working in four key areas within the linguistics of food:
interactional food assessments, the semantics of taste, consuming identities
and global food media. For instance, how might one individual’s assessment of
food be shared or treated as having greater authority or expertise over
another? How are the sensory semantics of taste produced in different
contexts: how do linguistic practices overlap with sensory practices? How do
producers and consumers negotiate taste as an individual or shared, food-based
or culturally-based concept? How do linguistic practices in various forms of
digital and print food media become sites in which taste is contested in a
globally shifting world? The symposium aims to engage researchers from broad
cultural and international backgrounds while focusing on central concepts
within the linguistics of food.
