The CuCo Lab website got a complete design rebuild. We look more settled now, less busy, and nicely organized. Quite the opposite to how running this lab feels in real life, I‘d say.

Took me a while, but here it is: Discourse figures in the Luxembourg language debate (2015-2020) This is a multi-method analysis of the latest wave in the public debate on multilingualism. It focuses on the role of different social groups & recurring linguistic figures for discourse structuation.
