Changing World
The collaborative research centre 1646 aims to undertake a systematic investigation of linguistic creativity as a vital feature of speakers' linguistic competence. Their starting point is creative linguistic activity in everyday communication, the resulting products, and how these can spread into a larger community. The individual projects will shed light on the properties, limits, benefits of linguistic creativity and the interplay of these different aspects including their theoretical, psycholinguistic and computational modelling.
Inequality, Uncertainty and Individualisation in a Changing World
Complex processes and effects of individual and social dynamics
Societies and individuals are subject to constant change - their natural, technical and social environments are becoming more diverse, interconnected and globalised. Social inequalities, instability and individualisation characterise our living environment and lead to complex interactions.
Since its foundation, Bielefeld University has been characterised by its interdisciplinary and scientifically networked approach to the transformation of societies and individuals in all regions of the world and their natural environments. It focuses its research in this area within numerous interdisciplinary research networks. In doing so, it seeks a scientific exchange that transcends boundaries and combines methods and theories in an innovative way.
