The tenth Syntax of the World's Languages conference will take place in
Potsdam, Germany, between September 8-12th, 2025, at the University of
Potsdam, Campus Am Neuen Palais. 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; SWL VI, Pavia 2014;
SWL VII, Mexico City 2016; SWL VIII, Paris 2018; SWL IX, Lima 2024), SWL X
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/SWL10/ ). Abstracts must be
written in English, 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
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 ( swl10.conference at gmail.com ) with a 2-page proposal before
December 15, 2024.
