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.
About us
Currently 26 participating professors are engaged within the URPP and more than 20 early career researchers who are carrying out a wide range of projects focused on the intersection of language and space within their focused research groups and in the Language and Space Lab.
