Studies in the Linguistic Sciences STYLE SHEET (revised 10 November 2001)

Transcription

1 Studies in the Linguistic Sciences STYLE SHEET (revised 10 November 2001) In preparing camera-ready copy for SLS, authors are requested to please adhere to the following guidelines as closely as possible. If you should run into any problems, please contact the editor(s) for help, but bear in mind please that we have very limited support personnel. If at all possible, papers should be produced on a computer, preferably the Apple Macintosh, using Microsoft Word. (On the Macintosh use Word 4 or later version; on the IBM use version 5 or later.) To ensure proper layout for laser printing, your FIRST step should be to set up your program for the laser printer. (On the Macintosh, you don t need to have the Laserwriter attached to do this.) On the Macintosh, make sure that the button FRACTIONAL WIDTHS (under PAGE SETUP) is turned off. All contributors should turn in a copy of their document disk, including a copy of all special fonts used, and a hard copy (= printout) to the editor(s). Final formatting and printing will be done by the editor(s). Do not insert headers in your document, except for page numbers. This will be done by the editor(s) in the final formatting stage. (Headers that do not belong are sometimes difficult to remove.) 1. General 1.1 Margins, tabs, paragraph indentation, alignment The margins are: TOP: 0.8 in, BOTTOM: 0.5 in, LEFT: 1 in and RIGHT: 1 in, with GUTTER: 0.5 in, DEFAULT TAB STOPS: 0.4 in. Each new paragraph is indented 0.4 in. Use TAB for this purpose; do not use the space bar. Use tabs also for alignment in tables and examples. (For the use of the Courier font for special alignment in certain diagrams, see 1.2, point 4.) 1.2 Font (1) The font is Times 13, with line setting at EXACTLY 15 pt (as is used here). If you do not know how to get Times 13 pt., use Times 12, and the editor(s) will convert it. (2) If Times font is not available, use any other proportional serif font, e.g. New York 12. (Do not use sans serif fonts like Helvetica, or fixed-space fonts like Courier as base fonts.) When printing your document, make sure the button FONT SUBSTITUTION? is checked under PAGE LAYOUT. (Otherwise, you will get a poor printout.) (3) If you need to use special symbols or diacritics not contained in Times, use either the Σψµβολ 12 (= Symbol 12) font or a compatible font of comparable size with Times 13. Be sure to enclose a copy of any special font(s) you use with your document disk.

2 11/13/01 SLS STYLE SHEET 2 (4) For proper alignment in certain types of diagrams, it may be worth your while to use a fixed-space font like Courier. See Appendix V for an example. 1.3 Graphics If possible, do your graphics in an application compatible with your word processing program and insert them into the text at the appropriate place. (For better laser-printing effect, object-oriented graphics programs like MacDraw or the Draw mode of Superpaint are the best.) If you cannot incorporate your graphics in your word processing document, furnish a NEAT drawing along with your disk, indicating where (roughly) it should be placed within the text. Try to keep such drawings to a minimum. (In syntax papers, you might try substituting bracketing diagrams for tree diagrams.) 1.4 Other (1) After periods, colons, question marks, and exclamation points, insert one space. (Never use two spaces for any purpose!) (2) Punctuation marks go inside quotation marks only if they are part of the citation. Otherwise, they follow the quotation mark. Example: (i) See the form agnim fire. (ii) Note the word order in Weiß sie das? Does she know that? (3) References for notes follow punctuation marks, except when there is a quotation mark after the punctuation. Example: (i) References for notes usually follow punctuation marks. 1 (ii) Does she know that? 2 (4) Place a comma both before and after for example, that is, and their abbreviations: e.g., i.e. 2. General outline (1) On the first page, in the upper left-hand corner (flush left), type the name Studies in the Linguistic Sciences (in italics). In the next line, flush left, type the volume and number. If you do not know the appropriate numbers, check with the editor. (2) Press the Return key three times, thereby inserting three BLANK LINES. Type the TITLE, in BOLD CAPS, centered (see below for further formatting). Insert one further blank line; then type your name, centered. On the next line, type your institutional affiliation, centered and in italics. On the next line, type your address, centered, in plain font. (3) After two additional blank lines, type the abstract according to the guidelines below. (For reviews, review articles, and squibs, there is no abstract.) (4) Insert two blank lines. Then the text begins. (5) For samples of the layout resulting from steps (1) - (4), see Appendix I. (6) At the end of the text, insert three blank lines, followed by the heading NOTES [NOT footnotes ], in BOLD CAPS, centered (see below for further formatting), plus

3 11/13/01 SLS STYLE SHEET 3 another two blank lines. Type the notes, with normal indentation. The reference numbers for the notes should be 10 point (9 point if you are using Times 12) and raised, both in the running text and at the beginning of each note. Insert a space between the note indicator and the note. For a sample see Appendix II. (7) After the notes, insert three blank lines, the heading REFERENCES, in BOLD CAPS, centered (see below for further formatting), and another two blank lines. Then type the individual references. For a sample see Appendix III. 3. Paragraph formatting (1) All paragraphs are in single space. (2) Paragraphs in the text are separated by a blank line. Insert a blank line after section headings. Indented examples are set off from the running text by a preceding and following blank line. Notes likewise are separated from each other by a blank line. Generally there are no blank lines within the references or within a single note. For emphasis, use boldface in numbered examples, SMALL CAPS elsewhere. 4. Title and other headings (1) Paper TITLES, as well as the headings NOTES (not footnotes ) and REFERENCES should be centered and entirely in BOLD CAPS. Elsewhere, follow normal English capitalization rules. (That is, in subheadings and in titles of cited papers, do NOT use special capitalization. Special capitalization, however, IS used for titles of books, monographs, and journals, which are also in italics. See the sample references in Appendix III.) (2) Instead of a title, REVIEW ARTICLES and REVIEWS have headings of the following form: (1) REVIEW (ARTICLE) centered, in BOLD CAPS. (2) Two blank lines. (3) In boldface and with hanging indent : first name of author, followed by last name (for each author). Title of monograph (in italics). (Series title and volume number, if any.) Place of publication, publisher, date. Number of pages. Price. (See Appendix Ib.) In the case of review articles, you may prefix a title before item (3), separated from it by two blank lines. (3) For headings of SQUIBS, follow the layout of Appendix Ic. (4) Section headings may be either flush left or indented 0.4 in, and should be in bold. 5. Abstract Papers are preceded by an abstract of not more than 250 words that briefly describes the content. The abstract is indented 0.4 in from both margins (LEFT and RIGHT), plus the regular paragraph indentation of 0.4 in. There are no abstracts for reviews, review articles, or squibs. (For a sample, see Appendix Ia.) 6. Citations, indented examples, glosses, and quotations

4 11/13/01 SLS STYLE SHEET 4 (1) Cited linguistic forms are in italics when quoted within the running text. Do not use italics in indented examples, tables, etc., unless the cited forms are within another text. (2) Indented examples should begin 0.4 in from the left margin on each line. If you number your examples, put parentheses around the numbers; the number should be indented 0.4 in; and the example should be indented another 0.4 in. Also, subparts of examples are numbered by letters of the alphabet, each followed by a period. See Appendix IV for further demonstration. (3) Glosses and quoted passages within the text are set off in single quotes (not double quotes). Double quotes are used for glosses or quotes within glosses or quotes. Quotations of more than two full lines are indented 0.4 in from both RIGHT and LEFT margins and have no quotation marks. 7. References In the text: 1. If the name of the author is part of the sentence, place the year (or year and page numbers) within parentheses: Andersen (1982) Andersen (1982:344-5) [no space after the colon, no repetition in numbers] 2. If the name is not part of the sentence include the entire reference within parentheses: (Andersen 1982) (Andersen 1982:344-5) 3. When a work has two or more authors, use the ampersand (&). Anderson & Ewen (1987) Anderson, Ewen, & Jones (1987:344-5). In the REFERENCE section: Always include all pertinent bibliographic information, including: author(s) or editor(s), year, title of work, journal or collective work, inclusive page numbers, series (if any), place of publication, publisher. Whenever possible, use complete first names (not initials). Volume, issue, and page numbers should be in the format: 15: (= volume 15, issue 2, pages ). The issue number is not required if the journal pages are numbered consecutively throughout all issues of a given volume, therefore (= volume 15, pages ). Cited references should adhere to the models below. Note the following general conventions: (i) Use hang-indent. (ii) Do not use quotes or special capitalization for articles and unpublished dissertations, but DO use special capitalization and italics for the titles of books, monographs, and journals. (iii) Authors or editors last names are in SMALL CAPS. (iv) If an item has more than one author or editor, use & (NOT and). Only the first author is listed with family name first, and a comma is placed after the first name. (a) Journal articles:

According to 2 See Thompson 1973, Y. Li Verbs like pao-suan in (19) are also often analyzed as Regardless of which analysis one adopts, one must explain why the resulting verb can take aspect markers, while V-de cannot. One possible solution (cf. Huang 1988) might be to say that -le, as an aspect marker having scope over a whole event, can only attach to the entire phrase expressing that event. Thus (20) could be excluded by saying that, if the DE-XP is required to denote a completed event of running, -le must occur outside the [V + DE-XP] complex. But this would run afoul of cases like (i)-(ii), where the postverbal expressions make for a completed event just as the DE-XP does in (20), yet -le is allowed on the verb. (i) Zhangsan pao-le chulai. (ii) Zhangsan pao-le san yingli. Zhangsan run-prf come-out Zhangsan run-prf three mile Zhangsan ran out. Zhangsan ran three miles. *N.B.: Starting with issue 32:1 (Spring 2002), SLS will no longer use ENDNOTES, but will switch to footnotes at the bottom of the appropriate page with consecutive numbering throughout the paper.
