The goal of TLS 9 is to provide a forum for  the presentation of
original research on morphosyntactic phenomena in languages that are
underrepresented in the literature, that is, less studied languages
and/or less-studied varieties of more-represented languages.
We welcome the submission of papers on topics including (but not
limited to): voice, case-marking, agreement, cliticization, complex
predicate formation, verb serialization, noun incorporation,
morphological blocking, lexical integrity, word order variation.

In addition to the above stated goals, the conference encourages
comparisons between different theoretical frameworks.
