Magdalena Rybarczyk is a tutor in linguistics and literature at the University of Nottingham Ningbo, China. She holds a doctoral degree in Cognitive Linguistics from the University of Warsaw, Poland. She is the author of the 2015 research monograph Demonstratives and Possessives with Attitude: An Intersubjectively-Oriented Empirical Study (published by John Benjamins). Her work explores the subtle semantics of grammar and conceptual structuring, which give access to studying human intersubjective disposition and coordination. She aims to continue to offer accounts of linguistic phenomena in light of human shared social experience and non-dualistic body/mind. Not unrelated to this line of research is Rybarczyk’s keen interest in mental health and meditative practices, especially in the context of higher education.

Magdalena Rybarczyk是中国宁波诺丁汉大学的语言学与文学教师。她在波兰华沙大学取得认知语言学博士学位。她是2015年研究专著《态度的指示语与属格：一项主体间性导向的实证研究》（由John Benjamins 出版社出版）的作者。她的研究探讨了语法和概念结构的微妙语义，为研究人类主体间的倾向与协调提供了途径。她致力于从人类共同的社会经验和非二元的身体/思维的角度解释语言现象。与此相关的是Rybarczyk对心理健康和冥想实践有着浓厚兴趣，尤其是在高等教育的背景下。更多资料请参阅：

Michael Stevens Pérez is tutor in English for Academic Purposes at the University of Nottingham Ningbo, China and holds a doctorate in Education and English. His research focuses on gesture and cognition in interaction at the level of concept development, specifically within learning environments that use a foreign language as an academic lingua franca. His approach brings together methods in Cognitive Linguistics, conversation analysis, and enactive cognition to the study of embodied actions in learning, and seeks to promote local, human-centered approaches to mind.

Michael Stevens Pérez是中国宁波诺丁汉大学学术英语课程的老师，他拥有教育学和英语博士学位。他的研究重点在于概念发展水平互动中的手势和认知，特别是在用外语作为学术通用语的学习环境中。他将认知语言学、会话分析和生成认知的研究方法相结合，来研究学习中的具身行为，并追求提升局部的、以人为本的思维方法。更多资料请参阅： https://www.nottingham.edu.cn/en/CELE/CELE-and-CPSO-Staff/CELE-Staff-Profile.aspx?id=8092dc11-6602-49b3-917b-43f63f2cb437&language=en-GB

Embedded in the theoretical framework of Cognitive Linguistics, this talk puts a spotlight on the interactional dimension of meaning by exploring the human capacity for intersubjectivity—the consideration of other minds and other bodies. We explore intersubjectivity through grammar and gesture, which—while schematic in themselves—carry the potential to shape and mold the expressive/affective space that exists between living bodies (cf. Merleau-Ponty). We argue that to give an analysis of meaning in language, it is important to know as much of the context as possible: the goals, reasons, and events that led to the situation coming forth, and the relationships between the interlocutors (and perhaps their relationships with others).

Drawing from our recently published chapter in the Handbook of Cognitive Semantics (ed. Thomas Li, Brill, 2023), we demonstrate that intersubjectivity can be studied through reformulations occurring in natural, goal-oriented talk. First, Magdalena will share her research into attitudinal and affective dimensions of grammar, specifically as manifested in Polish demonstratives and possessive pronouns (cf. Rybarczyk 2015). She will illustrate how a focus on the identities of speech participants can deepen our understanding of these core structural elements. Next, Michael will show examples of peer talk in a second language classroom, to explore the intersubjective coordination of hand gestures and facial expressions in concept development (cf. Stevens 2021).

本次讲座在认知语言学的理论框架中，通过探索人类主体间性的能力，即顾及其他思想与身体的能力，来关注意义的交互维度。我们通过语法和手势来探究主体间性，它们本身是图示化的，但却具有塑造存在于生命体之间的表达/情感空间的潜力（参阅Mweleau-Ponty）。我们认为，要对语言中的意义进行分析，重要的是要尽可能多地了解语境：目标、原因、导致情境出现的事件、以及对话者之间的关系（或许还有他们与其他人的关系）。

根据我们最近发表在《认知语义学手册》（Thomas Li, Brill编, 2023）中的章节，我们证明了主体间性可以通过在自然、目标导向的谈话中产生的重组来研究。首先，Magdalena会分享她关于语法的态度与情感维度的研究，特别体现在波兰语指示代词和属格代词中（参见Rybarczyk 2015）。她将说明对言语参与者身份的关注如何能加深我们对这些核心结构元素的理解。然后，Michael会展示第二语言课堂中同伴交谈的例子，以探究在概念发展中手势和面部表情的主体间协调（参阅 Stevens 2021）。
