Norrick on the occasion of his 65th birthday.1 Neal R. Norrick holds the Chair of English linguistic at the English depart- ment of Saarland University, where he has spent most of his career. He received his doctorate from the University of Regensburg in 1978 and taught English linguistics at a number of German universities (Würzburg, Kassel, Hamburg, and Braunschweig) as well as at Northern Illinois University. His research focuses on spoken English, with a particular attention to narrative as well as verbal humor, and is rooted in the wide field of pragmatics. His mono- graphs include Conversational Joking: Humor in Everyday Talk and the popular Conversational Narrative, which has recently been reprinted in paperback edition. He co-edited a handbook on phraseology and volumes on the Foundations of Pragmatics and on Humor in Interaction, which has also seen a reprint in paper- back. After many years as Special Issues Editor, he is now Co-Editor in Chief of the Journal of Pragmatics. He also serves on the Consultation Board of the Inter- national Pragmatics Association (IPrA) as well as on the editorial boards of a number of journals from the fields of pragmatics and humor studies (e.g. Text and Talk and Humor). In this millennium only, he has published more than 50 articles in peer- reviewed journals and edited volumes reflecting his manifold interests in language in use, its forms and functions, including topics as diverse as conjunctions, inter- jections, pragmatic markers, tellability, swearing, remembering, listener prac- tices, similes, scripted performances, laughter, conflict, and the construction of identities in talk. Uniting his two passions, language and cooking, he has worked on recipes as early as 1983. His recent addition to the field of culinary linguistics is on “Conversational recipe telling” (2011). The articles in this volume were written and assembled as a token of gratitude and affection for our teacher, mentor and colleague. 1. We would like to thank the student helpers of English linguistics, above all Isabel Schul and Daniel Recktenwald, for their help, and also our colleagues at the English department of Saarland University and everybody else for not “spilling the beans.” Aperitivo Overview of the volume Maximiliane Frobenius Saarland University The present volume contains a collection of original research articles from mul- tiple disciplines, revolving around the common theme of language and food and the manifestation of the two within their cultural framework. This section gives a brief overview of the general structure of the volume and of the individual contributions. Similar to the intricate task of composing a four course meal for invited guests, the assembling of an edited volume demands a sense of “what goes together.” The metaphor of the menu serves as the vehicle for the order of contri- butions: we start with an introduction to the whole field of research (Antipasti), move on to contributions in the form of original research articles (Primi Piatti and Secondi Piatti), and close with a bibliography of language and food (Dolci). The first set of articles, Primi Piatti, has been grouped together for its clear focus on language as it is used in specific genres whose main themes are food related. These encompass both spoken and written genres in both electronically mediated settings and printed or even hand-written documents. The second set, Secondi Piatti, represents research on food related language use within specific cultural settings, where it represents a tool to shape and construct the context it is situated in. These contexts range from the perpetuation of gender roles, controlling the degree of formality in a work setting, or expressing a commercial register through the naming of businesses. Thus, we might say that the Primi Piatti contributions work from a more specifically linguistic perspective, or a micro-level analysis, compared to the Secondi Piatti studies, which take a macro-level stance in that they investigate phenomena of the cultural setting and therefore go beyond a purely linguistic analysis. Gerhardt’s introduction to this volume, our mouthwatering Antipasti, repre- sents an extensive review of the literature revolving around food and food practices. It begins with the interdisciplinary study of food in various fields and subsequently closes in on the more focused description of language studies pertaining to food and its discourses. Primi Piatti is headed by Diemer and Frobenius, “When making pie, all ingre- dients must be chilled. Including you”: Lexical, syntactic and interactive features xi Maximiliane Frobenius in online discourse – a synchronic study of food blogs. This study of food blogs illuminates the written CMC (computer-mediated communication) genre using a hybrid approach. The qualitative analysis of addressee directed language con- firms the primarily interactive character of the genre blog. The quantitative study of the Food Blog Corpus (FBC) is the basis for a lexical and syntactic analysis, which provides information

  • A Taste of Higher Education: Exploring a Culinary Arts Degree Through Arts-Based Approaches
    Val Thompson A taste of higher education: exploring a culinary arts degree through arts-based approaches. Thesis submitted in requirement for the degree of PhD The School of Education The University of Sheffield September 2009 Abstract Information about how students experience their first year in higher education is of particular importance to policy makers, institutional managers, and tutors seeking to implement the governmental agenda of widening participation. Experience however, is a complex notion. Bruner (1986) argues that it is impossible to completely know another’s experience. Moreover, he maintains that the articulation of experience is consciously, or unconsciously censored or repressed, and is dependent upon an individual’s access to narrative resources and adequate vocabulary. Re-presenting the articulated experiences of others adds a further layer to this complexity. In this study I take a bricoleur’s perspective to research, utilising a range of arts- based approaches and forms to attempt to meet the challenge of re-presenting the experiences of first year Culinary Arts Management students, focussing on the influences that have shaped their choice of vocational degree course, and the ways in which they negotiate their move into HE level study. Employing a range of approaches which are multi-sensory as well as arts-based, acknowledges and reflects the complexity of life lived and experience shaped by our sensory capacity, and the learning which we accomplish through sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. What our senses also enable us to connect to, feel, and express, is emotion, imagination, and memory. Taking a multi-sensory approach to explore research questions therefore, exploits ways of understanding and meaning-making which we utilise in everyday life.

  • Iranian and Turkish Food Cultures: a Comparison Through the Qualitative Research Method in Terms of Preparation, Distribution and Consumption
    IJASOS- International E-Journal of Advances in Social Sciences, Vol. I, Issue 3, December 2015 IRANIAN AND TURKISH FOOD CULTURES: A COMPARISON THROUGH THE QUALITATIVE RESEARCH METHOD IN TERMS OF PREPARATION, DISTRIBUTION AND CONSUMPTION Gamze Gizem Avcıoğlu1 and Gürcan Şevket Avcıoğlu2 1 Res. Asst., Selçuk University, Turkey, [email protected] 2 Dr., Selçuk University, Turkey, [email protected] Abstract The purpose of this study is to make a comparative sociological analysis of Iranian and Turkish food cultures in terms of food preparation, distribution and consumption. Moreover, contribution is intended to be made to the field of applied food sociology. The research design carries features of a qualitative research. Of the qualitative research techniques, observation and interview form were used in the study. Research findings were obtained through observations made in Tehran, the capital city of Iran, and data were compiled by making interviews with people selected using the snowball sampling method. According to the results of observations and interviews, food habits in Iran tend to preserve their traditional characteristics. There are similarities rather than differences between Iran and Turkey in terms of eating habits and ways of eating. On the other hand, food culture is highly influenced by the food industry. Industrial food production, branding, packaging and wrapping are at an advanced level. Both Iran and Turkey are undergoing changes in terms of food as in other areas and coming under the influence of modernization. Food production, distribution and consumption systems or eating habits exhibit global trends. Although eating habits display global characteristics, they are always and in all communities based on local roots; in other words, the food culture is never separated from its cultural bonds.

  • Donna Lee Brien Writing About Food: Significance, Opportunities And
    Donna Lee Brien Writing about Food: Significance, opportunities and professional identities Abstract: Food writing, including for cookbooks and in travel and food memoirs, makes up a significant, and increasing, proportion of the books written, published, sold and read each year in Australia and other parts of the English-speaking world. Food writing also comprises a similarly significant, and growing, proportion of the magazine, newspaper and journal articles, Internet weblogs and other non-fiction texts written, published, sold and read in English. Furthermore, food writers currently are producing much of the concept design, content and spin-off product that is driving the expansion of the already popular and profitable food-related television programming sector. Despite this high visibility in the marketplace, and while food and other culinary-related scholarship are growing in reputation and respectability in the academy, this considerable part of the contemporary writing and publishing industry has, to date, attracted little serious study. Moreover, internationally, the emergent subject area of food writing is more often located either in Food History and Gastronomy programs or as a component of practical culinary skills courses than in Writing or Publishing programs. This paper will, therefore, investigate the potential of food writing as a viable component of Writing courses. This will include a preliminary investigation of the field and current trends in food writing and publishing, as well as the various academic, vocational and professional opportunities and pathways such study opens up for both the students and teachers of such courses. Keywords: Food Writing – Professional Food Writers – Creative and Professional Writing Courses – Teaching Creative and Professional Writing Biographical note Associate Professor Donna Lee Brien is Head of the School of Arts and Creative Enterprise at Central Queensland University, and President of the AAWP.

  • Using Regional Food Memoirs to Develop Values-Based Food Practices
    BRIEN AND MCALLISTER — “SUNSHINE HAS A TASTE, YOU KNOW” “SUNSHINE HAS A TASTE, YOU KNOW” Using regional food memoirs to develop values-based food practices Donna Lee Brien Central Queensland University Margaret McAllister Central Queensland University Abstract Alongside providing a source of entertainment, the growth in food media of all kinds reflects a genuine consumer interest in knowing more about food. While there is culinary information available that serves to educate in relation to food-related practices (shopping, food preparation, cooking, eating out) in ways that can serve to build confidence and enthusiasm, we propose that, in order for new food practices to be not only adopted, but sustained, consumers need to hone and develop personal values that will complement their technical and practical knowledge. This is the marrying of evidence-based and values-based practice that makes for sustained change in personal habits and practices (Fulford 2008). This discussion proposes that regional food memoirs – and specifically those by food producers – can arouse interest and curiosity, build knowledge in regional food systems, and connect consumers to food Locale: The Australasian-Pacific Journal of Regional Food Studies Number 5, 2015 —32— BRIEN AND MCALLISTER — “SUNSHINE HAS A TASTE, YOU KNOW” producers and production. This, we propose, can activate consumers to develop and embed the kind of learning that reinforces a belief in the need to be an ‘authentic consumer’. An authentic consumer is one who knows themselves, their own needs and desires, and makes choices consciously rather than automatically. It follows that an authentic food consumer is engaged with their local food systems and aware of the challenges that confront these systems.

  • BBC Public Complaints Responses 2016.Pdf
    Archived BBC public responses to complaints 2016 BBC News, Coverage of the death of David Bowie, 12 January 2016 Complaint We received complaints from viewers and listeners who felt there was too much coverage of David Bowie’s death during BBC News programmes and bulletins. Response from BBC News David Bowie was by common consent one of our greatest pop stars who attracted a global following. He appealed across the ages and was one of the most influential musicians of his time. His death was both sudden and unexpected, his illness not revealed to anyone but a tight circle of friends. Our coverage tried to reflect his stature as a musician whose capacity for invention changed the shape of the industry, and the shock at his death around the world. Question Time, BBC One, 14 January 2016 Complaint We received complaints from viewers who felt the panel had a right wing bias. Response from Question Time Over the course of a series Question Time aims to achieve balance and hear from a range of voices. Each programme usually consists of one senior politician from both the Labour and Conservative party, as well as representatives from other political parties. The rest of the panel is made of political commentators, journalists, and other public figures that add a different perspective and represent a range of viewpoints across the series. We also aim to ensure that each episode has a divergent and broad range of views from the panel on the likely topics that our audience wish to raise. David Dimbleby moderates the debate to ensure panellists are given the opportunity to make their views known in a fair way.
