The 16th Syntax and Semantics Conference in Paris http://www.cssp.cnrs.fr/index_en.html (CSSP 2025) will take place on November 12-14, 2025 in Paris, and will be organized by Université Paris 8 https://www.univ-paris8.fr/en/ & SFL https://www.sfl.cnrs.fr/en. CSSP invites papers combining empirical inquiry and formal explicitness, and favours comparisons between different theoretical frameworks.
We welcome submissions using theoretical, experimental or computational methods in:
syntax, semantics, pragmatics, the syntax-semantics interface, the semantics-pragmatics interface, language acquisition: syntax-semantics-pragmatics. Invited Speakers:
Corien Bary (Radboud University Nijmegen) Patricia Cabredo Hofherr (Université Paris 8 & SFL, CNRS) Rui Chaves (University at Buffalo, SUNY) Submission: We invite submissions for 40 minute presentations (including 10 minutes for discussion). Submissions are expected to describe substantial, original, completed and unpublished work, hence submissions should be up to 5 pages plus an extra page for references. The submission must be anonymous. The same person can submit one abstract as author, and one as co-author, or two with different co-authors.
