Advanced Java Generics syntax question

I want to define an anonymous subclass of a generic class -- how do I
set the parameter type?

Here's a non-anonymous example of a subclass binding the superclass
type variable:

public LinkedListOfStrings extends LinkedList<String> {
   ...
}

That's no problem. Now let's say I want to do the same thing but with
an anonymous inner class:

class Outer {

   public void someMethod() {

     LinkedList<String> lls = new LinkedList() {  <-- how do I
indicate the superclass is LinkedList<String>?
       public void add( String s ) { ... }
       ...
     }

   }

}

Anjelika Langer is silent on the issue -- which is utterly surprising.

I hope someone knows the answer, because its driving me crazy.
