The Expression of Indebtedness in Linguistics
Short Title: Indebt2026
Theme: Cross-Perspectives between European and Asian Languages

Date: 10-Dec-2026 - 11-Dec-2026
Location: Lyon, France
Meeting URL: https://indebtedness.sciencesconf.org/

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics; Discourse Analysis;
Pragmatics; Sociolinguistics; Text/Corpus Linguistics

Submission Deadline: 15-Apr-2026

The Indebtedness in Linguistics Conference explores the notion of
indebtedness in linguistic exchanges, focusing on the ways speakers
express, acknowledge, or negotiate a relational imbalance,
particularly through gratitude, apologies, or expectations of
reciprocity. The aim is to compare linguistic practices across
European and Asian languages. We encourage comparative contributions
or studies on lesser-studied languages.
The conference, funded by the CEL laboratory (Jean Moulin Lyon 3
University), the CLESTHIA laboratory (Sorbonne Nouvelle University),
and the ED 661 doctoral school (Sorbonne Nouvelle University), will
take place on 10–11 December 2026 at Jean Moulin Lyon 3 University and
will be followed by the publication of peer-reviewed proceedings.
