Research
The URPP Language and Space is dedicated to research on the fundamental connection of language and space on the basis of three points of intersection represented through the research topics Language in Space, Space through Language, and Space in Language.
Language and Space Lab
The Language and Space Lab is the core unit of the URPP engaged in advancing laboratory-style, interdisciplinary approach to the study of language. We study how language is shaped by the space in which it is used, from individual interactions to global geographical patterns.
