Research group 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.

The research group focuses on how people act and communicate in authentic situations with the resources they have at their disposal – various languages and multimodal resources. These include spoken and written language as well as digital and embodied expressions. The researchers often base their investigations on recorded data and observations on site. Current projects involve e.g., multilingual workplaces, language cafés for recent migrants, minority language instruction, as well as Swedish in everyday situations, such as service encounters. The researchers apply a range of theories and methods, including interactional sociolinguistics, Conversation Analysis (CA), multimodal interaction analysis, linguistic ethnography, social semiotics and discourse analysis.
