Meeting Description:

The 8th Syntax of the World’s Languages conference (SWL 8) will take place in
Paris, September 3-5 2018.

Syntax of the World's Languages 8 provides a forum for linguists working on
the syntax of less widely studied languages or language varieties. Its main
purpose is enlarging our knowledge and understanding of syntactic diversity.
Contributions are expected to be data-driven, and the discussion of
theoretical issues is appreciated to the extent that it helps to elucidate the
data and remains understandable to persons that are not specialists in the
relevant theory. All major theoretical frameworks are equally welcome, and
papers that adopt a diachronic or comparative perspective are also welcome, as
well as papers dealing with morphological or semantic issues, in so far as
syntactic issues also play a major role.


2nd Call for Papers:

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, 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.

All abstracts and workshop proposals should be submitted via the conference
website, http://swl8.sciencesconf.org. For the submission guidelines, please
consult the “Call for papers” page on the conference website
(https://swl8.sciencesconf.org/resource/page/id/1).
