The conference aims to bring together researchers working on linguistic theory and language documentation and description, with a particular focus on innovative work on underdescribed or endangered languages. The theme of the LDLT2 conference is: Linguistic theory and language documentation: innovations, successes, and challenges. For 2009, we especially welcome submissions addressing this theme in relation to languages of Africa. Invited speakers are: The plenary speakers are: Prof. Larry M. Hyman, University of California, Berkeley; and Prof. Tania Kuteva, SOAS/Heinrich Heine Universität, Düsseldorf.
Abstracts are invited for 20 minute papers followed by 10 minutes of discussion. Each individual may present up to one single authored paper and one joint paper.
Abstracts should be anonymous, 11pt font or larger, and one page in length, including references and examples. They should be in .doc or .pdf format (but not .docx format) and the filename should start with LDLT2, followed by an underscore and then first authors' surname, e.g. LDLT2_ashmore.pdf. If you have a common surname, please also include initials, e.g. LDLT2_jjones.pdf.
We invite contributions relating to any aspect of the study of language and linguistics from any perspective, including: formal theoretical issues; typology; documentary linguistics and responses to language endangerment; new techniques and opportunities for documenting and describing languages; historical linguistics; discourse, and narrative structure.
