<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%">The 21st Diachronic Generative Syntax conference (DiGS21) will be hosted at Arizona State University in Tempe, AZ, on 5-7 June 2019. As is typical for DIGS, there will be a pre-DIGS Workshop on 4 June 2019. The
topic of the Workshop is Comparative Morpho-Syntax of the Indigenous Languages of North and Central America.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%">DiGS21 welcomes submissions on any topic in formal diachronic syntax, but especially encourages research that presents novel historical syntactic data and/or sheds light on the internal and external sources of language
variation and change, and the paths that syntactic change follows.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%">There is a separate call for papers for the workshop. The theoretical framework for the workshop is open.

talks are instead of a poster session.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%">Abstracts must not exceed two pages in length, including examples and references (12 pt font). Submission is limited to one single-authored and one co-authored abstract per author, or two co-authored abstracts,
