We are the core unit of the URPP 'Language and Space' engaged in advancing a laboratory-style, interdisciplinary approach to language study. In three research groups — Video, Text, and Spatial Data Science — we analyse language artefacts, from unstructured video recordings to semi-structured text corpora and highly structured language databases. We study how space shapes our language, from individual interactions to global geographical patterns.
