The 16th Syntax and Semantics Conference in Paris (CSSP 2025) will take place on November 12-14, 2025 in Paris, and will be organized by Université Paris 8 & SFL.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,

- the semantics-pragmatics interface,
- language acquisition: syntax-semantics-pragmatics.
