Overview
Die Sociolinguistic Cocktail Lecture Series holt regelmäßig prominente Wissenschaftler*innen in unsere Region, um aktuelle Themen aus Sprache, Gesellschaft und Mehrsprachigkeit zu diskutieren. Aber wer sagt, dass Wissenschaft trocken sein muss? Nach jedem Vortrag laden wir die Zuhörer ein zur Entdeckung einer neuen Analogie zwischen der Wissenschafts- und der Geschmackswelt und präsentieren einen einzigartigen neuen Cocktail, angelehnt an die linguistischen und kulturellen Zutaten des Tages.
Die Vortragsreihe ist eine regionale Initiative des Sociolinguistic Lab Köln, unter der Leitung von Prof. Aria Adli, und dem Sociolinguistics Lab der Universität Duisburg-Essen, unter der Leitung von Prof. Isabelle Buchstaller.

Cocktail Recipes
The idea behind the drink is to mirror the language mix (that has been spoken about in the talk), in the form of a drink. Like language and culture in general, drinks also are influenced by different cultural flows and culinary traditions and, naturally, of a whole range of aromas.
