Third call for papers
The seventh Syntax of the World's Languages conference will take place in Mexico City, Mexico from August 17-19, 2016. The committee welcomes submissions for 20 minute talks, which will be followed by 10 minutes of discussion. We will also offer slots for posters. We welcome papers working in all theoretical frameworks and papers that adopt a typological, diachronic or comparative perspective are also welcome, as are papers dealing with morphological or semantic issues, as long as syntactic issues also play a major role.
Each individual may submit up to one single authored contribution and one co-authored/joint contribution. We have reserved an extra day following the conference, August 20th, for individual workshops. Individuals can participate in both, the conference and the workshops. Please, contact the local organizers for further details. Each workshop organizer is entirely responsible for its organization and logistics. We will accept up to four individual workshops, so we have space for one extra workshop. If you are interested in organizing a workshop, please, contact us.
Anonymous abstracts should not exceed 2 pages including examples and references (12pt Times or Times New Roman font, single-spaced, margins of at least 2.54cm/1inch). 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 conference will be held in English.
Abstracts must be in .pdf format. The filename should be the first four words of the title. Please indicate in the system if you are submitting an abstract for a talk or a poster. Abstracts MUST be submitted electronically via the EasyAbs website, which is now open.
The deadline for the submission of all abstracts is January 31, 2016.
Applicants will be notified of acceptance by March 31, 2016.
