Confs: The Expression of Indebtedness in Linguistics 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 Unive

It's that time of year (grant rejection season in Finland 🎄🏗) when i reskeet Jan Blommaert's blogpost about what grant rejections are telling researchers

Methodologically, it illustrates a bottom-up, corpus-assisted approach to the study of emotional expressions.

A big thank you to my anonymous reviewers, whose feedback was incredibly thorough 🙇‍♀️

The study expands TAP by proposing that not all communicative functions of emotional expressions are always equally relevant and paves the way towards a more comprehensive understanding of how affect and social meaning co-constitute each other in real-world interactions.

Specifically, I suggest that the core meaning of bowing is the expression of indebtedness, which relates to regret, guilt and gratitude. Bowing can also direct other people's behaviour and signal the speaker's position within a relationship.

The paper draws from the Theory of Affective Pragmatics (TAP) to explore bowing as an expression of emotion. By analysing mentions of bowing episodes in a web corpus of Japanese, I argue that bowing can perform speech act analogs in virtue of the fact that it expresses emotion.

📚"The affective meanings of bowing in a web corpus of Japanese", out now OA in the Journal of Pragmatics! Access it here doi.org/10.1016/j.pr..., and more details below 👇

📌 we document the entire process of data selection, analysis and annotation, including the challenges we met along the way
📌 we show that different dimensions of primings are closely intertwined and that LP can help us describe and explain language structure and use across linguacultures

In the book,
📌 we survey Hoey’s LP theory regarding collocation, meaning, grammar, polysemy, cohesion and creativity, in light of corpus evidence
📌 we show how evaluation (including evaluative cohesion), modality and im/politeness can be integrated into LP theory

📚 Lexical Priming: Evolution, Evaluation and Applications to English and Japanese is out now! In it, we build on and expand Hoey’s LP theory by applying it to specific varieties of Japanese and English, as represented in corpora

OUT NOW: Alan Partington and @diegolieugenia.bsky.social advance Lexical Priming (LP) theory, responding to Michael Hoey's desire that the theory be tested on discourse types that go beyond newspaper texts and in languages other than English – in this instance, Japanese.
