Reading List for Autumn Term 2024

Beihang Reading Club for Cognitive Linguistics

http://cifcl.buaa.edu.cn/BRCCL.htm




Beihang Reading Club for Cognitive Linguistics (BRCCL) is a non-profitable interest group freely attended for reading and discussing classic and latest theories in Cognitive Linguistics. BRCCL is supervised by Professor Thomas Fuyin Li (thomasli@buaa.edu.cn) from Beihang University. Its members are doctoral students, visiting scholars and faculty members from universities in Beijing, including Beihang University, Peking University, Tsinghua University, Beijing Foreign Studies University, etc. Currently, BRCCL members gather 15 times per semester. At each gathering, we have one key speaker to do a detailed presentation on latest articles or classic books, followed by a discussion.

BRCCL would be grateful for any recommendation or complementary copies of the latest titles in the broad area of Cognitive Linguistics. BRCCL will always try its best to promote the latest theories to the audience in China by any possible means including writing a paper in Chinese.


The address to receive complementary copies is as follows:
