Finnish Cognitive Linguistics Association FiCLA

The Finnish Cognitive Linguistics Association FiCLA fosters dialogue between researchers interested in the relationship between language and cognition. It aims to facilitate collaborations between researchers in cognitive linguistics and adjacent fields, and to promote the study of cognitive linguistics in Finland. FiCLA is affiliated with the International Cognitive Linguistics Association (ICLA).

FiCLA was founded in Stockholm, Sweden, on 14 July 1999, and its first annual meeting was held at the Finnish Conference of Linguistics, Oulu, Finland, on 20 May 2000.
