[Peter Austin]

*** apologies for cross-postings ***

Language Documentation and Description Volume 7 was released on 26 March
2010, and is a special issue containing lectures on topics in language
documentation and description from the 3L Summer
School<http://www.hrelp.org/events/3L/index.html> held
at SOAS in 2009. The lectures have been fully revised and expanded for
publication, with added examples, illustrations, discussion questions and
exercises, and suggestions for further reading.

Additional papers, by Peter Austin (practical advice on applying for
research grants) and by David Nathan (on the role of audio in linguistics
and documentation, based on a paper published in the journal of the
International
Association of Sound Archives <http://www.iasa-web.org/>), will add to the
value of the volume for language documenters.

The lectures and papers represent state-of-the-art discussions of the theory
and practice of language documentation and description by leading exponents,

documenting and describing languages.
