This document explains the stylistic specifications for manuscripts submitted to the Working Papers of the SFB732 (SinSpeC). Please read it through and follow the guideline. The font of the abstract is Times New Roman with 11 pt size. The abstract is justified. Leave two blank lines (12 pt.) between the affiliation and the beginning of the abstract as well as between the end of the abstract and the first heading. In order to show you what an abstract with exactly 200 words looks like, I stop after one more word. 1. Introduction This document describes the style requirements for manuscripts submitted to SinSpeC: Working Papers of the SFB 732 Incremental Specification in Context. Please follow exactly the guidelines below. All manuscripts must be submitted as a MicrosoftWord file (.doc) (or as a LaTex file (.tex); please ask the volume editor whether LaTeX is possible). The file name should be the author s last name followed by the extension required by the software. The editor will combine the individual articles into a volume. S/he will adjust the page numbers and insert a table of contents and the front page. 2. Basic Formatting Information 2.1 Page Setup Select Page Setup from the File menu and set margins as follows: Top/Bottom 3.5 cm Left/Right 3.5 cm Gutter 0 cm. In the Paper tab, choose document size A4 (Do not use Letter size!). In the Layout tab, choose the section start Odd page, turn on the two Headers & * Here come the Acknowledgments. We would like to acknowledge the authors of the many guidelines that influenced the present work. Their number is too big to mention them all. For information on how to format acknowledgments, see section 6 (notes). Working Papers of the SFB 732 Incremental Specification in Context 01 (2008): Name1, Prename, Name2, Prename (eds.) 2008 Author s name

2 Schäfer, Else & Other Footers options: Different First Page and Different Odd and Even. Set footer and header as follows: Header 3 cm Footer 1 cm 2.2 Fonts The article title, author s name and affiliation, and body of the article (including all section headings and example sentences) should be written in 12 pt Times New Roman. The abstract is written in the 11 pt size of the same font. Footnotes should be written in the 10 pt size of the same font. Header information is written in 12 pt, footer information is written in 10 pt. (as the footnotes are). If you use any unusual fonts for phonetic symbols, trees, or other special characters, you must embed copies of these fonts in the document you send to the editor, or provide them separately as attachments. 2.2 Spacing and Justification All text should be single-spaced and fully justified (that is, both right and left justified). This includes references and footnotes. Only one blank line should separate diagrams, example sentences and tables from the main text. 2.3 Paragraph and Section Formatting Section headings should be capitalized like titles, not typed in all caps. The section number should appear flush with the left margin and the written text of the heading should appear 1 cm from the left margin if the section number has less or equal to three positions (1. or 1.2 or 1.2.3) and 2 cm if the section number has 4 or more positions ( or ). Section headings are written in 12 pt and in boldface. Below, you see some examples: 3. Heading 3.1 Heading Heading Heading Heading The section number should be followed by a period unless it specifies both section and subsection numbers (i.e. Section 2.4, not Section 2.4.). Leave a blank line between the section heading and all subsequent text. The first line of the first paragraph should begin at the left margin. The first line of all subsequent paragraphs should begin indented 1 cm from the left margin. 2

3 Guide to Preparation of a Manuscript for SinSpeC 2.4 Page Numbers The first page of the article remains without a page number. Numbering starts at the second page. The page number appears in the footer. Put the page number in the center (10 pt.). The editor will adjust the page numbers in the preparation of the volume. 3. The First Page The header of the first page remains empty. Starting in the first line, center the title of the article in boldface. Leave a single blank line; center the author s name (First name Last name). Leave a single blank line (12 pt.). Next, center the author s affiliation. Leave two blank lines (12 pt.). Add your abstract (Times New Roman, justified, 11 pt.). Leave two blank lines (12 pt.). Start your text with the first heading. The footer of the first page should be made the following way: Times New Roman, centered, 10 pt. The title of the SFB is in Italic, the second and third lines are regular. The page numbers and the year will be inserted by the editor(s)): Working Papers of the SFB 732 Incremental Specification in Context 00 (2008): Name1, Prename, Name2, prename (eds.) 2008 Author s name Make sure that the distance between the footer and the edge is 1 cm. (You can format this in Word under file, page setup, layout.) 4. Subsequent Pages In the header of the even numbered pages, beginning with the second page, center the author s name in 12 pt Times New Roman. Singly-authored papers should use the author s first and last name in that order. Jointly authored papers should include only the authors last names in this header, with the final two names conjoined by the ampersand (&), not the word and. In the header of the odd numbered pages, center a running title of 60 characters or less (including spaces) in 12 pt Times New Roman italics. The author s name should not be set in italics. Make sure that the distance between the Headers and the edge is 3cm. (You can format this in Word under file, page setup, layout.) Two single blank lines (12 pt.) should follow the text in all headers. 5. Example Sentences If example sentences are used, leave a blank line both above and below the example. The example number should be contained in parentheses and appear 3

4 Schäfer, Else & Other flush with the left margin. The written text of the example should appear 1 cm from the left margin. A gloss and translation should be given for each sentence in a language other than English. In gloss lines, use hyphens (-) for morpheme breaks. If a morpheme requires more than one English word as a gloss, separate the words of the gloss with periods (.). For example: (2) Gurosu-to eigoyaku-o tukete kudasai-ne (3) Komat-tara itudemo watasi-ni kiite kudasai-ne If your examples have sublabels (a, b, ), the example number should be contained in parentheses and appear flush with the left margin. The sublabel should appear 1 cm from the left margin. The written text of the example should appear 2 cm from the left margin. (4) a. Gurosu-to eigoyaku-o tukete kudasai-ne b. Komat-tara itudemo watasi-ni kiite kudasai-ne 6. Notes If notes are used, they should be footnotes and not endnotes. Footnotes should appear in 10 pt font, be fully justified, and be numbered serially throughout the article. If acknowledgments are included, please place them in a footnote labeled * immediately following the article title. The first page of this guide provides an example of how to do this. The acknowledgments footnote is the one exception to the serial numbering of footnotes; the first footnote following the acknowledgments, rather than the acknowledgments footnote itself, should use the number 1. This is an example. 1 If footnotes contain example sentences, number the examples with small roman numerals. The first example in each footnote should begin with the number (i). Aside from this difference in numbering, example sentences should be formatted as shown in section Do not leave a blank line between footnotes. 2 Footnotes with example sentences look like this: 4

5 Guide to Preparation of a Manuscript for SinSpeC 7. Trees Trees can be written using Arboreal/Arborwin font, or the drawing program in Word. Trees should be numbered exactly as example sentences. 8. Tableaux Use table tool in Word to draw OT Tableaux. You can either give the tableaux a number as the example sentences or label it as Tableaux 1, Tableaux 2, (Please be consistent throughout the whole document). (3) Tableaux Example (start the text 1 cm from the left margin) /root/ Constraint 1 Constraint 2 Constraint 3 a. Candidate 1 * b. Candidate 2 *! c. Candidate 3 *! Tableaux 1: Perhaps you want some text here /root/ Constraint 1 Constraint 2 Constraint 3 a. Candidate 1 * b. Candidate 2 *! c. Candidate 3 *! We do not require any specific format for the tableaux. Make sure that the table is within the margins of the page. (i) Gurosu-to eigoyaku-o tukete kudasai-ne (ii) Komat-tara itudemo watasi-ni kiite kudasai-ne If your examples have sublabels (a, b, ), it looks like this: (iii) a. Gurosu-to eigoyaku-o tukete kudasai-ne b. Komat-tara itudemo watasi-ni kiite kudasai-ne 5

6 Schäfer, Else & Other 9. Graphics, Tables, etc. We do not require any specific format for the tables. You can either give the graphic/table a number as the example sentences or label it as Table 1, Table 2, (Please be consistent throughout the whole document). (4) Example showing a table (start the text 1 cm from the left margin) Table 1: This table shows something We do not require any specific format for the graphic/table. Make sure that the graphic/table appears within the margins of the page. 10. Miscellaneous Use en-dashes ( ) between numbers such as page numbers in the references (e.g., p ) or example numbers (e.g., (10) (12)). Use em-dashes ( ) to set off text. Put one space like this between the dashes and the adjacent words or numbers. For quotations in the text, use double curly quotes. Short quotations can occur in the text; longer quotations can be separated from the text by a blank line before and after it. Recall that the translations of the example sentences occur in single curly quotes. 11. Appendix, References and Contact Information After the main text, appendices may be added. Leave one blank line between the last section and the appendix as well as between different appendices. Headings for the appendices are not numbered. See the example below (The heading is boldface as all headings) Appendix 1 Append something, Appendix 2 Append something else, The last section or the last appendix will be followed by the list of references and the contact information of the author(s). 6

7 Guide to Preparation of a Manuscript for SinSpeC Leave two blank lines after the last section/the last appendix of the article and on the next line center the heading References in boldface. Leave a blank line between the heading and the written text of the first reference. References should immediately follow one another. Do not leave a blank line between references. A 1 cm hanging indent should be used for references that take up more than one line. References should be given in alphabetical order and be fully justified. The contact information of the author(s) should follow the references, separated from them by one blank line. Please include an address, separated from the rest of the address by one blank line. If authors represent different institutions, precede each address with the first and last names of the author(s) at that address; leave a blank line separating addresses. References Cowan, W., M. K.
