on innovative work on minority, under-described or endangered languages.

In addition to the main programme, there will be two parallel pre-conference
workshops on Thursday 16th December:

- Empirical and theoretical approaches to intonation in endangered and lesser
studied languages
- Language Documentation, Interdisciplinary Theory and Sustainable Development
Goals


2nd Call for Papers:

The deadline for abstract submissions has now been extended to Tuesday 26th
October 2021.

We are pleased to announce that the 6th Conference on Language Documentation
and Linguistic Theory (LDLT 6) will be held online and at SOAS, University of
London, on Friday 17th December and Saturday 18th December 2021.

We invite contributions relating to any aspect of the study of language and
linguistics from any perspective, including:
- formal and functional theoretical approaches
- linguistic typology
- documentary linguistics and responses to language endangerment
- new techniques and opportunities for documenting, describing, maintaining
and reclaiming languages.

Invited speaker: TBC

Presentations will be 20 minutes followed by 10 minutes of discussion. Each
individual may present up to one single-authored paper and one joint paper
throughout the whole conference. The deadline for submission is at midnight
(GMT) on Tuesday 26th October 2021.

The text of the abstract should be anonymous, a minimum of 11 pt font and no
more than one page in length, including references and examples. They should
be in .pdf format and the file name should start with LDLT6, followed by an
underscore and then first authors’ surname, e.g. LDLT6_ashmore.pdf. If you
have a common surname, please include initials, e.g. LDLT6_jjones.pdf.

Abstracts should be submitted using the LDLT6 Easychair site:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ldlt6

Notifications of acceptance will be sent in early November, when we will ask
presenters to return to us either a pre-recorded version of their
contribution, which we will play at the established time, or the slides with
no voice-over if they prefer to talk live. In either case, the discussion will
take place live, via the designated online platform.

A special session during the main conference will be dedicated to papers
submitted by MA students, PhD candidates and postdoctoral researchers.

While all formal interaction (presentations, questions and comments, round
tables etc.) will be online (platform TBC), joint viewing facilities will be
available at SOAS, University of London, and a small reception followed by
dinner will be organized on the second day for those participants who are
based or staying locally at the time of the conference, provided that the
social distancing rules are relaxed enough by then.

Further information and registration details may be found at the conference
webpage.
