The sixth `Syntax of the World's Languages' conference (SWL6) will be
held at the University of Pavia, Italy, on 8-10 September 2014.<br>
In the same spirit as previous conferences in this series (SWL I -
Leipzig 2004, SWL II -<br>
Lancaster 2006, SWL III - Berlin 2008, SWL IV - Lyon 2010, and SWL V -
Dubrovnik 2012), the conference will provide a<br>
forum for linguists working on the syntax of less widely studied
languages from a variety of perspectives.<br><br>
The main purpose of the conference is to enlarge our knowledge and
understanding of<br>
syntactic diversity. Contributions are expected to be based on first-hand
data of<br>
individual languages or to adopt a broadly comparative perspective. The
discussion of<br>
theoretical issues is appreciated to the extent that it helps to
elucidate the data<br>
and is understandable without prior knowledge of the relevant
theory.<br><br>
All theoretical frameworks are equally welcome, and papers that adopt a
diachronic or<br>
comparative perspective are also welcome, as are papers dealing with
morphological<br>
or semantic issues, as long as syntactic issues also play a major
role.<br><br>
Abstracts of no more than one page (plus possibly one additional page for
examples),<br>
should be sent in PDF format to
<a href="mailto:swl6.conference@gmail.com">swl6.conference@gmail.com</a>
by January 31st, 2014, with<br>
''SWL6 abstract'' in the subject line (authors will receive notification
of acceptance<br>
by March 31st, 2014). Submissions should be anonymous and refrain from
self-reference.<br>
Please provide contact details (name and email address) and the title of
your presentation<br>
in the body of the email. Participants may not be involved in more than
two abstracts,<br>
of which at most one may be single-authored. The conference will be held
in English<br>
and abstracts must be submitted in English.<br><br>
