At the Slavic department, research is conducted in both Czech linguistics and Czech literature.

Czech linguistics research has a prominent position at Stockholm University.

Tora Hedin is associate professor in Slavic languages, university lecturer in Czech and subject manager for Czech studies. Her research ranges over semantics, discourse analysis and sociolinguistics. She has investigated linguistic variation in Czech media and studied Czech political discourse from different perspectives in media texts from the 1940s until today. In lexicology, her primary interest lies in discursive words.

Irene Elmerot focuses on corpus linguistics and discourse analysis with statistics as an aid. She is writing her doctoral thesis on the language of Czech newspapers, using material from the large collections of the Czech National Corpus.

Czech literary research is represented by Petra Johansson, who in her thesis analyzes female lead roles in the avant-garde interwar theater Osvobozené divadlo (The Liberated Theater) in Prague as modern heirs to commedia dell'arte protagonists.
