Directory         1.    Antoine Guillaume, Syntax of the World's Languages Message 1: Syntax of the World's Languages Date: 20-Sep-2010 From: Antoine Guillaume <Antoine.Guillaumeish-lyon.cnrs.fr> Subject: Syntax of the World's Languages E-mail this message to a friend Syntax of the World's Languages Short Title: SWL4 Date: 23-Sep-2010 - 26-Sep-2010 Location: Lyon, France Contact: Denis Creissels Contact Email: Denis.Creisselsuniv-lyon2.fr Meeting URL: http://www.ddl.ish-lyon.cnrs.fr/colloques/SWL_IV/index.asp?Action=Edit&Langue=EN&Page=CD Linguistic Field(s): Syntax; Typology Meeting Description: In the same spirit as the previous conferences of this series (SWL I - Leipzig 2004, SWL II - Lancaster 2006, and SWL III - Berlin 2008), SWL IV will provide a forum for linguists working on the syntax of less widely studied languages or language varieties. Its main purpose is enlarging our knowledge and understanding of syntactic diversity. Contributions are expected to be data-driven, and the discussion of theoretical issues is appreciated to the extent that it helps to elucidate the data and remains understandable to persons that are not specialists of the relevant theory. All major theoretical frameworks are equally welcome, and papers that adopt a diachronic or comparative perspective are also welcome, as well as papers dealing with morphological or semantic issues, in so far as syntactic issues also play a major role.
