Meeting Description:

The international workshop on syntactic cartography (IWSC) is a biannual
conference initiated in 2015 and has been financially supported by Beijing
Language and Culture University (BLCU), aiming at gathering together linguists
and scientists in the relevant fields who are interested in investigating the
maps of syntactic structures as well as biological consequences of those
syntactic structure distributions.

What's new for this year's event is that, to promote both the cartographic
approach as well as the newly developed graduate program ''language and human
brain sciences' in BLCU, a newly proposed forum (the 1st International Forum
on Language and Brain) will be held immediately after the 4th IWSC, as a
separate but also interrelated part of the joint conference. The joint
conference (4th IWSC & 1st IFOLAB) (IWSC&IFOLAB2021 hereafter) will be held on
Oct 29 - Nov 3, 2021. 

During the 2nd IWSC (2017), the organizing committee decided to make the
selection procedure of conference topic(s) more interesting. The idea is to
select topics for each conference among the key concepts or keywords related
to syntactic cartography. The topic for the 3rd IWSC 2019 was of A-type:
Acquisition and Language Disorders related to Syntactic Cartographic Studies;
Adjectives and Adverbs; Aspects and Tense; Argument structures; Analyticity
and Synthesis, etc. Following this convention,  the topics for this year begin
with ''B''-terms, as follows: 

Between Syntax and Discourse/Pragmatics/Semantics...(For Part I of the
conference/IWSC2021) (Oct 29-Nov 1, 2021)

Brain and Language: New Trends and Current Issues (For Part II of the
conference/IFOLAB2021)(Nov 2-3, 2021).
