Jean-Rémi Lapaire
Jean-Rémi Lapaire teaches cognitive linguistics, pragmatics, gesture semiotics, and performance theory at Université Bordeaux Montaigne (UBM), France. He has explored the role played by physical motion in grammar, abstract reasoning, and social interaction, and shown that the sensing, moving, and cognizing body may articulate and project just about any “meaning” (however elusive or complex). His current research is centred on intersemiotic translation and performance-based approaches to education. He has designed and tested mixed teaching and learning strategies – spoken, written, visual-kinaesthetic – which allow educators and students to engage more fully in observation and reasoning in all domains of human enquiry.
