Syntax of the World's Languages conference will take place in Potsdam, Germany,
between September 8-12<sup>th</sup>, 2025, at the University of Potsdam, Campus
Am Neuen Palais. In the same spirit as previous conferences in this series (SWL
I, Leipzig 2004; SWL II, Lancaster 2006; SWL III, Berlin 2008; SWL IV, Lyon
2010; SWL V, Dubrovnik 2012; SWL VI, Pavia 2014; SWL VII, Mexico City 2016; SWL
VIII, Paris 2018; SWL IX, Lima 2024), SWL X will provide a forum for linguists
working on the syntax of less widely studied languages from a variety of
perspectives.</p><p> </p><p>The main
purpose of the SWL conference series is to enlarge our knowledge and
understanding of syntactic diversity. Contributions are expected to be based on
first-hand data of individual languages or to adopt a broadly comparative
perspective. The discussion of theoretical issues is appreciated to the extent
that it helps elucidate the data and is understandable without prior knowledge
of the relevant theory. All theoretical frameworks are equally welcome. Papers
that adopt a diachronic or comparative perspective are also welcome, as are
papers dealing with morphological or semantic issues, as long as syntactic
issues also play a role.</p><p><br>
We welcome submissions for 20 minute talks, which will be followed by 10
minutes of discussion. Anonymous abstracts in .pdf format of no more than 1
page (plus possibly an additional page for examples and references) should be
submitted electronically via the EasyAbs website (
<a href="https://easyabs.linguistlist.org/conference/SWL10/">https://easyabs.linguistlist.org/conference/SWL10/</a>
). Abstracts must be written in
English, with fully glossed examples conforming to the Leipzig glossing rules.
The deadline for all abstract submissions is February 27, 2025.</p><p><br>
Each individual may participate in up to two abstracts,
with a maximum of one single-authored submission. We will also offer slots for posters, if you
would like your paper to be considered for a poster slot, please indicate so
during your submission. The conference will reserve some space for workshops.
