Recent decades have seen rapid developments in geographical linguistics as well as in mapping technology. The Workshop Maps and Grammar aims to bring together researchers in linguistics with experts in geographic mapping. By exchanging ideas we will gain increased insights into the new opportunities of mapping technology and the specific problems of mapping linguistic structures.
