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.
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.
The handbook "Languages and Spaces in Switzerland - Volume 1" has just been published. It offers a comprehensive presentation of the diversity of languages and dialects used in Switzerland up to recent times and the spatial and social conditions of their occurrence.
The duration of the University Research Priority Program Language and Space ends on 31.12.2024. In the final year, several events will therefore be held to look back on the 12 years of the project.
