Marijn van Dijk (born 6 August 1972)[1] is a Dutch linguist. She is currently an associate professor of developmental psychology at the Faculty of Behavioural and Social Sciences of the University of Groningen, Netherlands.[2]

Career

van Dijk obtained her PhD at the University of Groningen in 2004. The title of her thesis was Child Language Cuts Capers: Variability and Ambiguity in Early Child Development, and it was supervised by her future colleague Paul van Geert.[3]

She is renowned for her work on developmental psychology and second language acquisition and the application of Complex Dynamic Systems Theory to study second language development.[4] She is one of the members of the "Dutch School of Dynamic Systems" who proposed to apply time-series data to study second language development along with van Geert, Lowie, de Bot and Verspoor.
