FLaRN 2016 conference
Vilnius University, Lithuania
28-30 June 2016
The seventh FLaRN Conference took place on 28-30 June 2016 in Vilnius. It was organized by the Department of English Philology and the Faculty of Philology of Vilnius University. The Conference developed out of the Formulaic Language Research Network (FLaRN ) whose purpose is to co-ordinate research in the field of formulaic language, to share ideas and resources, and to create a sense of community among researchers who are not necessarily in geographical proximity. The network was the focal point for postgraduate conferences in Cardiff 2004, Twickenham 2005 and Nottingham 2008 and three full conferences for researchers at all stages of their academic career in Paderborn (Germany) in 2010, Tilburg (Netherlands) in 2012 and Swansea (UK) in 2014. The 2016 FLaRN Conference in Vilnius was a full conference attended by 65 researchers from 17 countries.
