The researchers in Slavic languages also participate in interdisciplinary research areas shared by the department or faculty: Literature and Cultural Studies*, Language in Society*, The Medieval Committee.

Old Church Slavonic

In Slavic medieval studies, the research focuses on three areas: textual criticism studies, epigraphical studies of graffiti and inscriptions in sacred spaces, and the long-term preservation of cultural heritage through presentation on the Alvin platform of Slavic manuscripts and early printed books in Swedish libraries and archives.

Russian

The literary studies research focuses on contemporary Russian literature and includes both close readings and reception studies. In recent years, researchers have worked with intertextuality, paratexts and intertextuality in translation, publishing and reception of Russian literature in Sweden and Swedish literature in Russia. The linguistic research focuses on historical sociolinguistics, the study of the development of literacy, the development of language during the 1700s, and Swedish-Russian language contacts between 1721 and 1945.

Ukrainian

The research in Ukrainian largely focuses on the language of the Ukrainian public authorities, how they communicate with their citizens, and how Russia’s full-scale invasion has affected the language used by Ukrainian public authorities. The development of a Ukrainian-Swedish-Georgian online dictionary is also in progress.
