Language Projects

On this page, you can find all the language projects, games and experiments that are currently running. Each project was developed by a team of researchers from our Collaborative Research Centre "Linguistic Creativity in Communication". None of the projects are dependent on one another, so feel free to pick one that piques your interest and start from there! 

Our goal is to make research transparent, accessible and interactive. That's what citizen science means to us. By involving interested citizens like yourself in our active research, you can play a part in advancing the state of the art, while having fun and learning something about language and creativity along the way!

As a public university, we are committed to keeping your data anonymous and to never give out any sensitive information to third parties. Read more in our privacy policy.
