Scandinavian philology and language history is one of the research groups within Swedish and Scandinavian Languages. It brings together researchers interested in the study of language and literature from older times, preferably from the runic, Old Swedish, Old Icelandic and Early modern periods.

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.
