Geolinguistic analysis promises a more holistic interpretation of languages in contact in the increasingly complex milieu of major cities. In this paper our aim is to assess the potential of selected aspects of geolinguistic analysis for the understanding of multilingual cities, and to outline a research agenda which highlights the need for a more sustained programme of comparative research on urban multilingualism. We illustrate our agenda with reference to a GIS analysis of language in contemporary Cape Town. We also illustrate the wider application of GIS by reference to the Logosphere Programme and evaluate several key research areas where interdisciplinary work may advance our methodological and interpretative inquiries
