The aim of this study is to analyze the depiction of linguistic variation in high school syllabi and textbooks for the subject Swedish between the 1970s and the 2010s. I analyze how the linguistic varieties dialect, chronolect, sociolect, genderlect and multi-ethnolect is depiction. The focus is on the latter to analyze how the school is changing in relation to scientific and social discourses. In the study I use a qualitative content analysis method to explain how authors of the syllabi and textbooks explain the subject. The analysis is based on close reading and three different “educational ideals” of how texts can be depicted. In the results it is shown that all episodes about dialect is based on established truths, while the other linguistic varieties vary on how they are presented. The results also show the absence of multi-ethnolect in syllabi and textbooks released in the 1970s and 1990s, but that it exists in textbooks released in the 2010s.
