Lina Nyroos

Lina Nyroos is Associate Professor and Senior Lecturer in Swedish at Södertörn University, specializing in interactional linguistics. She leads a Swedish Research Council-funded project examining 'Interactional Patterns in Swedish Police Interviews', analyzing how objectivity is discursively constructed during questioning and reformulation.

Research explores:

• Micro-level management of legal principles in high-stakes interviews
• Conversation analysis of institutional discourse
• Epistemic claims and memory negotiation
• Language assessment practices in educational contexts

Her forensic linguistics work critically examines police interview techniques through detailed discourse analysis, contributing to both linguistic theory and police training methodologies.

Additional research interests include second language assessment, teacher attitudes toward multilingual writing, and standardization challenges in oral proficiency testing. She has published extensively on classroom interaction patterns and assessment practices across educational levels.
