xi Maximiliane Frobenius Fuller, Briggs and Dillon-Sumner Men eat for muscle, women eat for weight loss: Discourses about food and gender in Men's Health and Women's Health magazines discusses the construction of hegemonic femininities and masculinities with regard to food choices as found in two magazines targeted at women and men respectively.The qualitative study shows how the notions of guilt and morality are closely linked to food consumption, and that articles and ads in those magazines employ them to create hetero-normative identities that depict women as in need of controlling their eating behavior and men as under pressure to perform.Serwe, Ong and Ghesquière "Bon Appétit, Lion City": The use of French in naming restaurants in Singapore explores the use of French on restaurant signs in Singapore, giving both a quantitative and qualitative account of the forms and meanings of the names in relation to their respective business.The study uncovers a correspondence between the idiomaticity/mixing of languages and the type of food served: monolingual, idiomatic French names predominantly belong to restaurants specializing in French food; multilingual, non-idiomatic names often denote cafes or bakeries selling non-French food.Ankerstein and Pereira Talking about Taste: starved for words is a psycholinguistic study of the taste vocabulary of English speakers.It challenges the assumption that words map directly onto physiological and psychological constructs, as the tasks this research is based on show that participants' knowledge of taste is far greater than their use of taste words suggests.The morphological properties of these lexemes, and their use are explored through collocation searches in the COCA (Corpus of Contemporary American English).To sum up, Secondi Piatti combines papers that approach the study of food discourse and food genres as they are embedded in larger discourse patterns and (cross-) cultural settings.This section thus contributes to our understanding of the effects these genres have on societal structures in that they can be employed as tools to express various kinds of meaning.Dolci, our comprehensive Bibliography: Food and language represents the final section of this volume.
