The Research Buildung

Origin

The investigation of language dynamics and language cognition represents the central research focus for linguistics at Marburg. This research focus, which was initiated in 2000, is the result of a collaboration between the Department of Theoretical Linguistics at Philipps-Universität Marburg and the Department of Language Variation and Language Change Research at the Research Center Deutscher Sprachatlas. In this research focus, the previously very successful single-discipline research approaches, questions and methods are brought together in such a way that sustainable advancement of knowledge becomes possible for linguistics as a whole. On the basis of this joint research program of Marburg linguists, a research building was approved by the Hesse Science Council in 2010 and financed by BMFTR and the State of Hesse, enabling the participating research groups to work in a networked way on the projects and providing a unique infrastructure to this end.
