Research groups

Interaction and Multilingualism (Interfler)

Interfler is one of the regular research groups in the section Swedish and Scandinavian Languages in the Department of Swedish and Multilingualism. The group consists of researchers with interests in interaction and multilingualism, both in everyday life and different public domains such as education and working life.

Narratives: form and function

The research group Narratives: form and function takes an interest in stories and narrative from different times and places – from medieval legislative texts to contemporary lifestyle blogs – and aims at understanding why and how we choose to narrate.

Language and societal challenges

Language and Social Challenges is one of the permanent research groups within Swedish and Scandinavian Languages at the Department of Swedish and Multilingualism. It brings together sociolinguistically and discourse analytically oriented researchers who are interested in linguistic issues in relation to social, ecological and economic sustainability.

IntensiveSwedish

Through collaboration between researchers and teachers, the work within the project IntensiveSwedish has resulted in a goal-oriented, concrete and systematically laid out basic model for the education of newly arrived students of high school age. IntensiveSwedish has now entered a new phase! IntensiveSwedish 2.0.
