Section of Areal Linguistics

The history of Section of Areal Linguistics started in 1976 from the working group "Languages of the world".  Later, "Languages of the world" became a structural unit of the Department of Indo-European Languages.  Further on, in 2011 the group "Languages of the world" was transformed into the Section of Areal Linguistics and became part of the Department of Typology and Areal Linguistics.

Section of Areal Linguistics is a leading research center not only in the field of the study of linguistic areas and their mapping, but also in various related fields. Its members actively participate in organisation of conferences which are held in the Institute. The workers are also engaged in field research, documentation and preservation of languages and language policy issues. 

The Sector continues the preparation of a multi-volume encyclopedic series "Languages of the World".
