Language Description

Language Description is a systematic scholarly practice in linguistics that belongs to the genus of linguistic documentation methods and is differentiated by its focus on comprehensively analyzing and presenting the phonological, morphological, syntactic, and semantic structures of a language, typically based on primary data collected through fieldwork, with particular significance in the study of endangered and under-documented languages.
