Forskare
Institutionen för språk och litteraturerOm Rasmus Bernander
Jag är fältlingvist och historisk(-typologisk) lingvist med särskilt fokus på grammatiska variationer och förändringar i bantuspråk – främst de som talas i Tanzania, men även ur ett bredare komparativt perspektiv.
I min roll som forskare leder jag ett forskningsprojekt finansierat av Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, där vi undersöker användandet och utvecklingen av modala uttryck (såsom kan, böra, måste, kanske) i swahili. Projektet fokuserar på historiska förändringar med särskilt fokus på språkkontakt, både vad det gäller lån av modala uttryck i swahili (främst från arabiskan) och swahilins påverkan på andra östafrikanska språk.
Mer information om projektet finns här:

Därutöver undervisar jag också i swahili och andra kurser inom afrikansk lingvistik:
