CLEAR is committed to publishing its research in leading international journals and presenting at major international conferences. Specific key publications for each of our research projects can be accessed from the Projects page.
CLEAR’s research is primarily focused on a variety of topics relevant to Russian linguistics and pedagogy: verb aspect, constructions, rival forms, paradigm structure.
CLEAR has produced nearly 600 research results since 2010, over 100 of which are books and articles.
