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...
