University Research Priority Program Language and Space (2013-2024)

Between 2013 and 2024, the URPP Language and Space focused on research at the intersection of linguistics and geography. This interdisciplinary research initiative aimed to explore the relationship between language and geographic, social, and interactional spaces, significantly advancing the fields of linguistic geography, typology, and contact linguistics. It combined the micro-level view on human linguistic and non-linguistic interaction with the spatial organisation that emerges out of interaction, including the shaping of geographical language and dialect areas.
