The Research Centre for Linguistic Typology (RCLT) was a research institute founded in 1998 at the Australian National University in Canberra by R. M. W. Dixon. It moved to LaTrobe University in Bundoora, a suburb of Melbourne (Australia), in 2000.[1] It was an internationally well-recognized centre that was specialized in fieldwork linguistics, language documentation and linguistic typology, and was especially focussed on "the Tibeto-Burman family and the languages of the Amazon and Papua New Guinea".[2]

Dixon and Alexandra Aikhenvald headed this institute up to 2008, when they accepted a position at James Cook University in Cairns, after which Professor Randy LaPolla became the director. It was reorganized and rebranded as the Centre for Research on Language Diversity.[3]
