Now available! Language Documentation and Description Volume 7 was
published on 26 March 2010, and is a special issue containing lectures
on topics in language documentation and description from the 3L Summer
School 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 International Association of Sound
Archives journal ), will make the volume particularly useful to
aspiring 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, and the volume will be of interest to anyone
teaching or learning about documenting and describing languages.
