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...
