Sinology

At the Department of Linguistics and Philology research is primarily focused around the following areas: older and modern Chinese literature and literature theory, Chinese media and freedom of the press, China's ethnic minorities and minority languages in China, cross-border ethnic groups, historical sociolinguistics, teacher trainee education in Chinese, gender issues and migrant worker issues.

Chinese language and literature as a research discipline is called Sinology. It emerged as a philological discipline but has in recent times expanded to encompass China-related research in the humanities and social sciences. During the past few decades this discipline has come under influence of area studies, China studies, but the characteristic trait of Sinology is that research within this discipline is largely based on materials written in Chinese.
