It is, however, still in its early stages of development in the Asian region. The Department of Linguistics of The University of Hong Kong is deeply involved in the study, analysis and description of languages of East, South and Southeast Asia (ESSA). This includes larger, smaller and endangered languages, as well as contact languages. </span><br style="color:rgb(51,51,102);font-family:'Arial Unicode MS','Lucida Grande','Lucida Sans Unicode',Code2000,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br style="color:rgb(51,51,102);font-family:'Arial Unicode MS','Lucida Grande','Lucida Sans Unicode',Code2000,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span style="color:rgb(51,51,102);font-family:'Arial Unicode MS','Lucida Grande','Lucida Sans Unicode',Code2000,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px">With this conference we want to focus on a documentary approach to languages of the Asian region. We want to discuss and develop new perspectives for the description and documentation of Asian languages and uses of the resulting data and analyses. As part of our drive to develop documentary linguistics at HKU, we will host a 4-day event: the first two days will offer an intensive workshop in LDD training; the latter two days will be dedicated to a symposium on documentary linguistics. </span><br style="color:rgb(51,51,102);font-family:'Arial Unicode MS','Lucida Grande','Lucida Sans Unicode',Code2000,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br style="color:rgb(51,51,102);font-family:'Arial Unicode MS','Lucida Grande','Lucida Sans Unicode',Code2000,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span style="color:rgb(51,51,102);font-family:'Arial Unicode MS','Lucida Grande','Lucida Sans Unicode',Code2000,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Guest Speakers: </span><br style="color:rgb(51,51,102);font-family:'Arial Unicode MS','Lucida Grande','Lucida Sans Unicode',Code2000,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br style="color:rgb(51,51,102);font-family:'Arial Unicode MS','Lucida Grande','Lucida Sans Unicode',Code2000,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span style="color:rgb(51,51,102);font-family:'Arial Unicode MS','Lucida Grande','Lucida Sans Unicode',Code2000,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Mr. L.W, Kit, Founder of the Dimen/Dong Eco-workshop, China </span><br style="color:rgb(51,51,102);font-family:'Arial Unicode MS','Lucida Grande','Lucida Sans Unicode',Code2000,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span style="color:rgb(51,51,102);font-family:'Arial Unicode MS','Lucida Grande','Lucida Sans Unicode',Code2000,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Dr. L.
