Call for papers
Syntax of the World’s Languages (SWL IX)
July, 23-26th 2024
Lima, Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP) 

The ninth Syntax of the World's Languages conference will take place in Lima, Peru, between July 23-26th 2024, at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP). In the same spirit as previous conferences in thisseries (SWL I, Leipzig 2004; SWL II, Lancaster 2006; SWL III, Berlin 2008; SWL IV, Lyon 2010; SWL V, Dubrovnik 2012; SWL VI, Pavia 2014; SWL VII, Mexico City 2016; SWL VIII, Paris 2018), SWL IX 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 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. 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 role.

We welcome submissions for 20 minute talks, which will be followed by 10 minutes of discussion. Anonymous abstracts in .pdf format of no more than 1 page (plus possibly an additional page for examples and references) should be submitted electronically via the EasyAbs website (https://easyabs.linguistlist.org/conference/SWL_IX). 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 deadline for all abstract submissions is Jan-31 2024.

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. If you are interested in organizing a workshop, please, contact us with a 2-page proposal before Dec-31, 2023.
