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 andinsert a table of contents and the front page.
2.Basic Formatting Information
2.1Page Setup
Select “Page Setup” from the “File” menu and set margins as follows: Top/Bottom3.5 cm – Left/Right3.5 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 & Footers options: “Different First Page” and “Different Odd and Even”. Set footer and header as follows:Header3 cm – Footer1 cm
2.2Fonts
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 TimesNew 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 e-mail attachments.
2.2Spacing and Justification
All text should be single-spaced and fully justified (that is, both right and left justified). This includesreferences and footnotes. Only one blank line should separate diagrams, example sentences and tables from the main text.
2.3Paragraph 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 1cm 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 (4.3.2.1 or 4.3.2.1.2). Section headings are written in 12 pt and in boldface. Below, you see some examples:
3.Heading
3.1Heading
3.1.1Heading
3.1.1.1Heading
3.1.1.1.1Heading
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.
2.4Page 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, 11pt.). 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 linesareregular.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): 000-000
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 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-toeigoyaku-otukete kudasai-ne
gloss-andEnglish.translation-accput please-ending.particle
‘Please give glosses and English translations’
(3)Komat-taraitudemowatasi-nikiitekudasai-ne
are.in.trouble-ifat.any.timeI-dataskplease-ending.particle
‘If you are having trouble, ask me at any time’
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-toeigoyaku-otukete kudasai-ne
gloss-andEnglish.translation-accput please-ending.particle
‘Please give glosses and English translations’
b.Komat-taraitudemowatasi-nikiitekudasai-ne
are.in.trouble-ifat.any.timeI-dataskplease-ending.particle ‘If you are having trouble, ask me at any time’
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 5.[2]
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.
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 consistentthroughout 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. 100–102) 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).
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 email 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.
