<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-right:213.3pt'><b><span lang=EN-US>Language
description</span></b><span lang=EN-US> is the traditional subfield of
linguistics concerned with the analysis of language structures and functions at
different levels of organization (phonology, morphology, syntax, lexicon etc)
and is often aimed at producing grammars and dictionaries.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-right:213.3pt'><b><span lang=EN-US>Language
documentation</span></b><span lang=EN-US> is a new subfield of linguistic
inquiry and practice primarily concerned with the compilation and preservation
of primary linguistic data, and the inter-relationships between primary data
and the various types of analyses based on these data. Language documentation
strengthens the empirical foundations of those branches of linguistics and
related disciplines which draw heavily on data from lesser known speech
communities (eg. linguistic typology, cognitive linguistics, ethnolinguistics
etc.). It significantly improves accountability (verifiability) of research and
seriously addresses issues of access and use of primary data. Language
documentation also serves the needs of language communities in educational and
language revitalization and maintenance efforts. (Cf. Gippert, Himmelmann &
Mosel. 2006. Essentials of language documentation. Mouton de Gruyter.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
