In a rare study to address this issue, Grieshaber collected a corpus of case-study data from four families in Australia (Grieshaber, 1997). Each family was videoed on ten occasions, capturing daily family routines as well as meal preparation and consumption.…”

“…The observation took place at a time of reported frequent mother-child conflict: prior to and during dinner (Grieshaber, 1997). Because Dunn and Munn (1985) suggested that videotaping is often too intrusive for families, interactions were audiotaped rather than videotaped.…”

Sixty-three mother-toddler dyads took part in a 6-month prospective study that examined how differences in the frequency and nature of early mother-toddler conflict related to individual differences in children's subsequent socioemotional development. When the children were 30 months, mothers and children participated in a series of laboratory tasks and in a 1.5-hr unstructured home observation. All episodes of verbal conflict between mothers and their children were identified from these sessions, transcribed, and coded for certain elements (e.g., strategy, discussion of emotion, and resolution). At 36 months, children participated in measures of emotional understanding, social competence, and early conscience development. Mothers' use of justification, resolution, and mitigation in conflict at 30 months predicted high levels of socioemotional development at age 3. These findings suggest that conflict may be an important context for children's socioemotional development.

“…Again in cross-cultural perspective, Italian families differ from American families with regard to the roles of the father, and the mother and children concerning the problematization of past events at the dinner table (Pontecorvo & Fasulo 1997, in contrast, Ochs & Taylor 1992a, 1992b. Children are encultured according to their sex to perform certain duties like helping serve or clean (Grieshaber 1997). A cross-cultural study indicates that Norwegian middle class families produce more narrative activities (in relation to explanatory talk) than their U.S. counterparts (Aukrust & Snow 1998).…”

CLU-SAL publishes monographs and edited collections, culturally oriented grammars and dictionaries in the cross-and interdisciplinary domain of anthropological linguistics or linguistic anthropology. The series offers a forum for anthropological research based on knowledge of the native languages of the people being studied and that linguistic research and grammatical studies must be based on a deep understanding of the function of speech forms in the speech community under study. 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 monographs 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 paperback. 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 International 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 peerreviewed journals and edited volumes reflecting his manifold interests in language in use, its forms and functions, including topics as diverse as conjunctions, interjections, pragmatic markers, tellability, swearing, remembering, listener practices, 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 FrobeniusSaarland UniversityThe present volume contains a collection of original research articles from multiple 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 contributions: we start with an introduction to the whole field of research (Antipasti), move on to contributions in the form of original research ar...
