A substantial amount of research in cultural geography has been dedicated to the mundane or everyday living with diversity, yet little has been done in relation to linguistic diversity and the ways in which individuals experience the city through this particular form of diversity. This paper addresses how geographers can build on and assist in contemporary sociolinguistic scholarship to understand how individuals experience urban social diversity while taking account of the sound of spoken language in public space. Specifically, the paper highlights the significance of what I have named linguistic sound walks as a method to capture both the immediate sensory experience of the city’s linguistic soundscape while opening up ways to discuss and reflect on how linguistic diversity affects the experience of spatial and social diversity. Drawing on fieldwork in the inner-city of Amsterdam, the study illustrates how these linguistic sound walks represent a potential resource to reflect on the relationship between the sound of spoken languages and the experience of spatial and social diversity in the city, bridging the gap between the fields of geography and sociolinguistics
