The Language Documentation and Linguistic Theory biennial conference
aims to bring together researchers working on linguistic theory and
language documentation and description, with a particular focus on
innovative work on under-described or endangered languages. The main
session will run over two days. In addition to parallel sessions on 19
and 20 November 2011, the conference will be preceded by a satellite
Workshop on Language Documentation and Archiving, to be held on 18
November 2011.

The plenary speakers for the main session are:

* Professor Balthasar Bickel, University of Leipzig
* Professor Anju Saxena, Uppsala University

The plenary speaker for the archiving workshop is:

* Professor Anthony Woodbury, University of Texas at Austin

The theme of the LDLT3 conference is 'Empirical methodologies that
drive forward theory building'. For 2011, we especially welcome
submissions addressing this theme in relation to languages of Asia.
