http://cifcl.buaa.edu.cn/BRCCL.htm
《语义与心智研究》课程面向所有对认知语言学感兴趣的本科生、硕士研究生及博士研究生开设。参加本课程的同学将在导师指导下，每周深入研读1篇国际期刊论文（Issue 309-326），共计18篇；每三周集中开展1次专题讨论，共计6次，内容聚焦于认知语言学领域的前沿研究。本课程将帮助学生通过精读经典文献，掌握认知语言学的核心理论与研究方法，并通过讨论深入理解这些理论如何应用于语言现象的分析。课程分为六个主题，每个主题涵盖三篇论文，涵盖的内容包括汉语的历时变化、多因素共时研究、行为特征分析法在汉语词汇中的应用、边界与事件结构、汉语的体标记以及形态学中的统一性与变异性。论文信息及研讨时间如下：
The course “Seminars on Meaning and Mind” is suitable for all undergraduate, master's and doctoral students interested in cognitive linguistics. Students enrolled in this course will read one paper from international journals (Issues 309-326) under the guidance of the instructor every week, totaling 18 papers. In addition, there will be one intensive discussion every three week, totaling 6, on cutting-edge research in cognitive linguistics. The course will help students master core theories and research methods in cognitive linguistics through close examination of key texts and deepen their understanding of how these theories are applied to the analysis of linguistic phenomena. The course is divided into six topics, each covering three papers. Topics include diachronic changes in Chinese, multifactorial analyses in synchronic studies, the Behavioral Profiles (BP) approach to Chinese lexical items, boundary and event structure, aspectual markers in Chinese, and uniformity and variability in morphology. The journal article information and discussion schedule are as follows:
