Arabic - research
The subject area of Arabic has a long tradition at the University of Gothenburg. A professorship in Semitic languages was established as early as 1898, which in 1970 was converted into a professorship in Arabic. Historically, Arabic dialectology has been a dominant research area in the subject area. Today, research is conducted in a range of literary and linguistic fields.
Our main research focuses are:
- modern and pre-modern literature
- translation
- language didactics
- language ideology
- standard spoken Arabic
- reading
- writing systems and orthography.
