The tenthSyntax of the World's Languages conference will take place in 
Potsdam, Germany,between September 8-12th, 2025, at the University of 
Potsdam, CampusAm Neuen Palais. In the same spirit as previous conferences 
in this series (SWLI, Leipzig 2004; SWL II, Lancaster 2006; SWL III, Berlin 
2008; SWL IV, Lyon2010; SWL V, Dubrovnik 2012; SWL VI, Pavia 2014; SWL VII, 
Mexico City 2016; SWLVIII, Paris 2018; SWL IX, Lima 2024), SWL X will 
provide a forum for linguistsworking on the syntax of less widely studied 
languages from a variety ofperspectives.

The mainpurpose of the SWL conference series is to enlarge our knowledge 
andunderstanding of syntactic diversity. Contributions are expected to be 
based onfirst-hand data of individual languages or to adopt a broadly 
comparativeperspective. The discussion of theoretical issues is appreciated 
to the extentthat it helps elucidate the data and is understandable without 
prior knowledgeof the relevant theory. All theoretical frameworks are 
equally welcome. Papersthat adopt a diachronic or comparative perspective 
are also welcome, as arepapers dealing with morphological or semantic 
issues, as long as syntacticissues also play a role.

We welcome submissions for 20 minute talks, which will be followed by 
10minutes of discussion. Anonymous abstracts in .pdf format of no more than 
1page (plus possibly an additional page for examples and references) should 
besubmitted electronically via the EasyAbs website 
(https://easyabs.linguistlist.org/conference/SWL10/). Abstracts must be 
written inEnglish, with fully glossed examples conforming to the Leipzig 
glossing rules.The deadline for all abstract submissions is February 27, 
2025.

Each individual may participate in up to two abstracts,with a maximum of one 
single-authored submission. We will also offer slots for posters, if 
youwould like your paper to be considered for a poster slot, please indicate 
soduring your submission. The conference will reserve some space for
