Dear Subscribers, Linguists, Language Lovers,

As you may know, there is a famous LINGUIST cookbook that some of you have contributed to over the years. Our colleagues and students expressed a strong interest in updating and refreshing it with new recipes from all over the world. We would be happy to do so. Please take a look at at the old site:

http://linguistlist.org/cookbook/

For the update we suggest the following:

As LINGUIST List is slowly becoming multi-lingual and really a global service, the cookbook should become truly LINGUISTIC. On the one hand, this could mean that, if you have a really linguistic recipe, for example, Glagolitic or Devanagari letter soup, or if there is a psycholinguistic or syntactic cake, you could contribute that recipe to the LINGUIST cookbook. However, we would also like to extend the cause and purpose of the cookbook. We would like to use it as a documentation resource for linguists. If you have a recipe written in the native language of its origin, a truly linguistic recipe, the entire linguistic community could not only benefit from the culinary aspect of it, but also benefit intellectually and academically. If you have a native language recipe and its English translation, this would be extremely valuable to share with the community. Please do support this project and send your recipes to:

funddrivelinguistlist.org

Feel free to add pictures or multi-media files to the recipe. Send those to the email above as either an attachments, or provide an URL to a shared cloud folder.

Thank you!
