Linguistic Field(s): Syntax; Typology 

Call Deadline: 14-Feb-2016 

Meeting Description:

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 and SWL VI - Pavia 2014), SWL VII will provide a forum for
linguists working on the syntax of less widely studied languages from a
variety of perspectives.

The main purpose of the conference 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 to elucidate the data and is understandable without prior
knowledge of the relevant theory.

All theoretical frameworks are equally welcome, and 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
major role.

two weeks until February 14, 2016.

The seventh Syntax of the World's Languages conference will take place in
Mexico City, Mexico from August 17-19, 2016. The committee welcomes
submissions for 20 minute talks, which will be followed by 10 minutes of
discussion. We will also offer slots for posters (short presentations). We
welcome papers working in all theoretical frameworks and papers that adopt a
typological, diachronic or comparative perspective are also welcome, as are
papers dealing with morphological or semantic issues, as long as syntactic
issues also play a major role.

Each individual may submit up to one single authored contribution and one
co-authored/joint contribution in the main conference. We have reserved an
extra day following the conference, August 20th, for individual workshops.
Individuals can participate in both, the conference and the workshops. Please,
contact the local organizers for further details. Each workshop organizer is
entirely responsible for its organization and logistics. If you are interested
in organizing a workshop, please, contact us.

references (12pt Times or Times New Roman font, single-spaced, margins of at
least 2.54cm/1inch). Abstracts must be written in English, with fully glossed
examples conforming to the Leipzig glossing rules. Please romanize all Asian
texts, and do not use Asian character fonts unless absolutely required. The
conference will be held in English.

Abstracts must be in .pdf format. The filename should be the first four words
of the title. Please indicate in the system if you are submitting an abstract
for a talk or a poster. Abstracts MUST be submitted electronically via the
EasyAbs website, which is now open.

The extended deadline for abstract submission is February 14, 2016. 
Applicants will be notified of acceptance by March 31, 2016.
