Die Funktion, die im Leben des Menschen der angeblich prosaischen, aber fur seine Existenz notwendigen Tatigkeit - dem Essen - beigemessen wird, bleibt nicht ohne Einfluss auf die Sprache. Ein bemerkbares Forschungsfeld aus der Schnittstelle des Kulinarischen und der Linguistik bilden kulinarische Namen, die einerseits als Verkoerperung diverser Aspekte des menschlichen Lebens und andererseits als Manifestation menschlicher Denkweise und Aktivitat gelten. UEberdies sind sie ein Zeugnis der kulturellen und gesellschaftlichen Entwicklung. In dieser Monografie wird ein UEberblick uber diverse linguistische Zugange zu kulinarischen Namen prasentiert. Das Ziel ist es dabei, kulinarische Namen aus der sprachwissenschaftlichen Perspektive moeglichst holistisch und komplex zu beschreiben.
