Abstract Evans et al. (2018a,b) introduce the notion of ‘engagement’ as a new grammatical domain related to intersubjective coordination of knowledge. The present paper applies this notion to data from the Australian Aboriginal language Ungarinyin. It identifies three markers/construction types in the language as expressions of engagement and develops a descriptive framework rooted in Bakhtinian Dialogism in order to demonstrate why these expressions represent the category. It is argued that the main problems that arise in the analysis of engagement are very similar to those that have been encountered in the description of (other) TAME-categories as well, and that these may be overcome by applying Mikhail Bakhtin’s idea of ‘addressivity’. It concludes that a better understanding of the category of engagement that explores its relation to addressivity may contribute to the development of an approach to grammar in which sociality takes priority, a Dialogic linguistics.

摘要Evans等。（2018a，b）引入了``参与''的概念，作为与主体间知识协调相关的新语法领域。本文将这一概念应用于澳大利亚土著语言Ungarinyin的数据。它确定了语言中的三种标记/构造类型作为参与的表达方式，并建立了扎根于巴赫金对话主义的描述性框架，以证明这些表达方式为何代表该类别。有人认为，参与度分析中出现的主要问题也与（其他）TAME类的描述中遇到的问题非常相似，可以通过应用米哈伊尔·巴赫金（Mikhail Bakhtin）的“称呼性”思想来克服。 '。
