1 JOURNAL OF SOCIOLINGUISTICS SUBMISSION GUIDELINES SUBMISSION Papers should be submitted online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jslx. Full instructions and support are available on the site and a user ID and password can be obtained on the first visit. If you have any difficulty using the site, email Andy Gibson (andy.gibson@aut.ac.nz). Submissions should be limited to a maximum of 45 manuscript pages (doublespaced, wide-margined, 12-point type), including all references, tables, figures, appendices, etc. The Journal's language of publication is English. Submissions will be peer-reviewed unless in the editors' opinion a paper falls outside the journal's scope or is not of adequate scholarly standard. Reviewing will be anonymous as far as practicable, so please avoid undue self-identification in the manuscript. Submission of a paper is assumed to mean that it is original work which has not been previously published and is not simultaneously in press or being considered for publication elsewhere (in either electronic or hard copy). Related articles being published or considered elsewhere should be acknowledged, and discussed in a covering letter. STYLE Format Journal of Sociolinguistics conducts blinded peer-review. When uploading your manuscript you will need to upload a manuscript file with no identifying author information (designate as Main Document) and a separate title page (designate as Supplementary File not for Review) with author details. Any acknowledgements or other self-identifying material should be removed from the main document and included on the title page. The title page should carry the title of the paper, name/s and affiliation/s of author/s, and full contact addresses for correspondence - postal, email, fax and telephone. Correspondence will be sent to the first-named author unless otherwise indicated. Please note, the title should not be entered in upper case, please capitalise only the first letter of all content words in the title. The 1st page of the (anonymised) main document should carry the title (but no author identification), a single- paragraph abstract of up to 150 words, a list of up to six key words, a short running title for use as a page header, and the word count for the main text only of the paper (excluding abstract, notes and references). The main text of the article begins on the 2nd page. After the end of the main text, there follow in order: Notes, References, Appendices, Tables and Figures. Number all pages except those with tables and figures. Manuscripts should be double spaced throughout (including abstract, quotations, transcripts, notes, references, tables, etc.), with a right margin 5 cm (2 inches) wide. Do
not justify the right margin or hyphenate within words. 2 Avoid more than two levels of subheadings. Use all upper case letters for the first level of heading, lower and upper case for the second level. After a heading, start text on the line next below. Begin paragraphs with an indent except after headings. Lists or numbered examples should use arabic numbers on the margin, followed by a stop but without parentheses, with the text indented throughout. Long quotations, whether citations or data, should be separated from the text and indented, and in full-sized type. Spelling and punctuation Use single quote marks for quotations, double quote marks for quotations within quotations. Give page number of reference for direct quotations. Translations or glosses should appear in single quotes. Cited forms should be italicised. Ensure that phonetic or other non-orthographic symbols are clear, especially diacritic marks. Either British or American spelling and punctuation conventions may be used, but they should be applied consistently throughout the paper. Extracts For extracts of transcribed spoken data, keep conventions to the minimum necessary for the points to be made. Short lists of transcription conventions should be given in the text preceding the extract or in an endnote; lengthy lists of conventions should be given as an appendix to the paper. Notes Use a heading for each extract or transcript such as Extract 1:. Avoid the use of notes where possible authors will be asked to reduce excessive numbers of notes. Notes will appear as endnotes. Use superscript numbers (not too small) in the text. Number notes consecutively and gather them immediately after the end of the main text. Start them on a new page, and use the heading NOTES. Place note numbers on the left margin, with the text indented throughout. Leave an extra space between each note. Use Note 1 for acknowledgements, etc., and attach it to the title on the cover page. References References should use the author/date system, e.g.: (Hymes 1974). When the author's name appears in the text, use: Gumperz (1983) argues that.... Page numbers appear after a colon (plus space) following the date: Labov (1972: 269 270). Do not use additional parentheses for the date of a reference contained in text that is already enclosed in parentheses. Use semicolons between each reference in a sequence of references by different authors. For works with three or more authors, either use all authors names at each citation:
3 Fishman, Ferguson and Das Gupta (1968) ; or use et al. after first mention: Fishman et al. (1968). All works cited must appear under the title REFERENCES following any notes and preceding any tables or figures. Start the references on a new page. Check thoroughly that all works cited in text and notes appear in the list of references, and that authors and dates match between citation and references. The references appear in alphabetical order. Use authors' names as they appear on the published sources, with full first name unless author uses only initials. Reverse first and last names only for the head name of the reference. Same-author references appear in date order. Same-date references by the same author should be identified as: Labov 1972a, 1972b, 1972c, etc. Multiple-authored works follow all sole-authored works by the first author, in alphabetical order of second (and subsequent) authors. Do not use the convention of an underline before the date for subsequent works by the same author. Indent the second and subsequent lines of each reference. Capitalize main words in book and journal titles. Use minimal capitalization in article titles, but capitalize the first letter after a colon within the title. Do not use quotation marks around article or chapter titles. Italicise the titles of books and journals. Give volume number for journal references, and publisher plus place of publication for books. Spell out U.S. state names in full. Use and not & (ampersand). Give full page numbers for articles in journals and books. Use the following styles for citing monographs, edited volumes, articles in edited volumes, journal articles, conference or other oral presentations, and unpublished works such as dissertations: Androutsopoulos, Jannis. 2004.

4 Check thoroughly the accuracy, completeness and order of references before submission. Tables and figures Mark the approximate positioning of tables and figures in the text. Tables appear after the references, followed by figures, with each on a separate page. They should be numbered consecutively and typed widely spaced. Supply a brief caption above each table and below each figure, including a gloss on any abbreviations used. Keep detail on tables and figures to the minimum needed to substantiate the points made in the text. Ensure all figures are of sufficient quality to reproduce adequately. Use a type size large enough to allow for reduction at publication. Figures should be prepared using an artwork package such as Freehand, Illustrator or Photoshop, and supplied as an EPS or TIF file. Use of colour and tints should be avoided. After acceptance Final versions of accepted articles will be expected to conform to these guidelines, and may be returned to the author if they do not. All material accepted for publication is subject to editing for length and in other respects by the editors, although this will be done, as far as practical, in consultation with authors. Copyright Transfer Agreement Authors will be required to sign a Copyright Transfer Agreement (CTA) for all papers accepted for publication. Signature of the CTA is a condition of publication and papers will not be passed to the publisher for production unless a signed form has been received. Government employees need to complete the Author Warranty sections, although copyright in such cases does not need to be assigned. After submission authors will retain the right to publish their paper in various media/circumstances (please see the form for further details). To assist authors an appropriate form will be supplied by the editorial office. Alternatively, authors may like to download a copy of the form from http://www.wiley.com/go/ctabglobal.
