Topics: acquisition and disorders adjectives and adverbs aspects and tense analyticity and synthesis

The international workshop on syntactic cartography (IWSC) is a biannual conference innitiated in 2015 and financially supported by Beijing Language and Culture University (BLCU), aiming at gathering together linguists and scientists in the relevant fields who are interested in investigating the maps of syntactic structures as well as biological consequences of those syntactic structure distributions. The previous two conferences were conducted successfully, with the participation of those leading figures and also many young scholars in the field. The third IWSC will be held on Oct 26-27 2019, co-organized by the Department of Linguistics at BLCU, Department of Lingusitics at the University of Geneva and the International Association of Syntactic Cartography (Macau). After a round table discussion, the program committee and organizing committee decide to make the topics more interesting, from both academic perspective and fun-making point of view. That is, we decided to alphabetically choose the topics for each conference. Following this convention, the topics for this year will begin with "A"-terms, as follows:

Acquisition and Language Disorders Related to Syntactic Cartographic Studies
Adjectives and Adverbs
Aspects and Tense
Argument Structures
Analyticity and Synthesis

We welcome all the creative and innovative papers related to these topics. Papers aiming at observing the relations between syntactic structure and brain science are also warmly welcome.

Submission Guidelines

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.

1. Abstracts are limited to one page (using 1 inch margins on all sides), including examples and (selected) references.

2. Abstracts must be written in English or in Chinese. Please use standard Times New Roman font, size 12 pt for English or Song front 5 for Chinese.

3. Abstracts should be sent in PDF file.

4. All non-standard fonts should be embedded in the document.

5. Name your files with author's name-country-conference name, e.g., if the author is Wang Mian from China, then the file name should be wangmian-china-iwsc2019. If the paper has more than two authors, a "co" should be added after the first author's name, e.g., wangmian-co-china-iwsc2019.

***Notice that only the abstracts submitted through easychair will be accepted.
