About FLaRN

The purpose of the Formulaic Language Research Network (FLaRN) is to co-ordinate research work in the field of formulaic language, to share ideas and resources, and to create a sense of community between researchers who are not necessarily in geographical proximity.

The network is a tool for keeping a group of like-minded people from around the world in touch with each other, and has been the focal point for three postgraduate conferences in Cardiff 2004, Twickenham 2006 and Nottingham 2008, and four full conferences for researchers at all stages of the academic life cycle in Paderborn, Germany (2010), in Tilburg, Netherlands (2012) , Swansea, UK (2014) and Vilnius (2016).
