the syntactic structure of less widely studied languages from a variety of
perspectives. Contributions are expected to be based on first-hand data of
individual languages or to adopt a broadly comparative perspective. All major
theoretical frameworks are equally welcome, as is work done in analytical
frameworks developed in typology or field linguistics.<BR><BR>Papers that adopt
a diachronic/historical-comparative perspective or that discuss language-contact
effects are also welcome, as are papers dealing with morphological or semantic
issues, as long as syntactic issues also play a major role.<BR><BR>Authors
should not presuppose detailed knowledge of their theoretical framework,and the
papers should focus on widely relevant theoretical issues, minimizing
theory-internal argumentation. We recognize that questions raised by theoretical
frameworks often lead to the discovery of interesting phenomena in lesser
studied languages. However, the goal of applying a theoretical framework should
be seen as subsidiary to the main purpose of the conference, that of enlarging
our knowledge and understanding of the syntactic phenomena of the world's
languages. <BR><BR>Local organizers:<BR><SPAN
