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 – Mexico DF, and SWL VIII
- Paris), SWL IX will provide a forum for linguists working on the syntax of
less widely studied languages from a variety of perspectives.

The SWL IX will take place in Lima in September 2020, and it will be hosted by
the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP). 

The main purpose of the conference is to enlarge our knowledge and
understanding of syntactic diversity. The topics relevant to the conference
include, for example, aspects of basic clause structure, argument structure
(e.g. grammatical relations, diathesis, linking, argument coding, clitics),
morpho-syntactic complexity, intra-clausal dependencies (e.g. agreement
systems, binding, control), inter-clausal dependencies (e.g. reference
tracking, clause-linking), the structure of noun phrases, morphological and
syntactic asymmetries, the expression of information structure, the interface
between syntax and other areas of grammar (morphology, phonology, semantics,
pragmatics), among others.


Call for Papers:

Contributions are expected to be based on primary data of individual languages
or to adopt a broadly comparative perspective. Papers that adopt a
diachronic/historical-comparative perspective or that discuss language-contact
effects are also welcome. All theoretical frameworks are equally welcome. 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.

Each individual may submit up to one single authored contribution and one
co-authored/joint contribution. 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.
Each workshop organizer is entirely responsible for its organization and
logistics. If you are interested in organizing a workshop, please, contact us
with a 2-page proposal before December 15, 2019.
