Corpus Linguistics and Language Acquisition Network (CLAN)

Welcome to the CORPUS LINGUISTICS AND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION NETWORK (CLAN)!

Our primary goal is to foster groundbreaking research at the fascinating intersection of corpus linguistics and psycholinguistics. We believe that by bringing together insights from these two dynamic fields, we can unlock new understandings of how language is used, learned, and processed.

We are passionate about encouraging interdisciplinary cooperation, and we warmly invite researchers from neighboring fields to join our network. Your unique perspectives and expertise are invaluable as we strive to push the boundaries of knowledge in this exciting area.

A key aim of our network is to provide robust support for graduate students undertaking dissertations focused on corpus linguistics and second language acquisition. We understand the challenges and rewards of this specialized research, and we're here to offer guidance, resources, and a collaborative environment to help you succeed.

This network represents a pioneering effort in the Turkish academic landscape. Studies in both corpus linguistics and psycholinguistics are currently scarce here, making our initiative even more crucial. We are confident that through dedicated cooperation, we can significantly boost the quantity and quality of research at this vital intersection in Turkey and beyond.
