Volume 4 of Language Documentation and Description is now available from the
Endangered Languages Academic Programme at SOAS.
Volume 4 is a collection of papers dealing with three topics in language
documentation:
Current issues in language documentation
Meaning and translation in language documentation
Literacy and language documentation
A CD-ROM The Disappearing Sounds of the Worlds Languages, based on a
lecture given by the late Professor Peter Ladefoged, is provided free with

Most of the papers arose from workshops held at SOAS in December 2005 and
February 2006. They represent important contributions to the theory and
practice of the field of language documentation by leading scholars and
younger researchers, including Yonas M. Asfaha, Peter K. Austin, Henrik
Bergqvist, David Bradley, Éva Á. Csató, Nick Evans, William A. Foley, Jeff
Good, Lenore A. Grenoble, Sjaak Kroon, Jeanne Kurvers, Simon Musgrave, David

The volume will be of interest to anyone concerned with documenting and
describing languages.
