The international workshop on syntactic cartography (IWSC) is a biannual
conference initiated in 2015 and has been 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. During the 2nd IWSC (2017), the organizing
committee decided to make the selection procedure of conference topic(s) more
interesting, that is, to select topics for each conference following the
alphebetic order of the initial letter of the keywords. The topic for the 3rd
IWSC 2019 was of A-type and the topics for 4th IWSC (2021) began with "B"-
terms. Following this tradition, the key topics of the 5th IWSC will begin
with C: Crosslinguistic variation; Cinque hierarchy; Criteria features and
left periphry; Cartography of Chinese Syntax; Clitics...
