After the success of the five previous CamCoS conferences (see:

definitely be the final month of the ERC-funded Rethinking Comparative Syntax
(ReCoS) project, we are delighted to announce CamCoS 6. This 2.5-day
conference will take place in Cambridge 4–6 May 2017. The first half-day will
feature talks by Cambridge-based researchers, focusing in particular on the
major results of the ReCoS project. This will be followed by a full-day
general session on comparative generative syntax. The final day of the
conference will centre on the presentations of our eminent invited speakers.

The invited speakers for CamCoS 6 are:

Walter Bisang (Mainz)
