<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:small"><span lang="EN-US">Language descriptions, particularly
descriptive grammars often form a part of language documentation projects. The
recent special LDC publication (Toshihide and Rice (eds.) 2014) discusses
topics in grammaticography, particularly aimed at those undertaking their first
major project with an undescribed language. In the volume, Mosel (2014) discusses
how combining language documentation and corpus-based methods in the analysis
of an undescribed language helped her account for language internal variation
and filtered through to how she presented her grammatical description, making a
potentially more reusable and verifiable document. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:small"><span lang="EN-US">Previously Linguistics in the Pub has
discussed what a good descriptive grammar should include (May 2010). As it has
been a while, February's LIP will again focus on grammaticography. Namely, how
we go about and present descriptive grammars and whether our methods should or
could change? </span></p>
