Guidelines for contributors of articles to EWW: layout conventions
ð Articles can be submitted as hardcopies or (preferably) electronically. In the case of an electronic submission authors are advised to get in touch with the editor beforehand to avoid deletion as spam. .doc or .pdf formats are acceptable; articles with figures, graphs or phonetic characters should be submitted in .pdf format.
ð Final versions of papers accepted for EWW must be submitted electronically. Hardcopies are useful if there are possible problems involving graphs or phonetic characters but not mandatory otherwise; please follow the editor's instructions. We prefer MS Word .doc files (though we can handle most other formats as well).
ð We have a .dot-file with styles into which we import your file. To avoid conflicts, avoid any other styles (headlines, footnotes, etc.) apart from"standard" throughout your text.
Formal aspects
ð Please use footnotes not endnotes.
ð There are only two formats you should use: bold and italics.
ð Example words under discussion and foreign words and abbreviations should be marked by italics (e.g.: "the pronunciation of either is variable"; etc., et al.).
ð Emphazised words should be marked by bold type.
ð Avoid tab stops.
ð Use MS Word tables instead of tabs and spaces if you need to arrange parts of your text in columns, to add interlinear translations / comments, etc.
ð Single spacing after period, please.
ð Use double quotation marks (" ... ") for quotations; single quotation marks ('...') for translations and meanings only.
ð If you use an abbreviation (e.g. "BrE" for "British English"), please introduce it in parentheses when you use it for the first time, and then use it consistently. Use conventional abbreviations as in earlier issues of the journal or the listing provided in EWW 1:1 (1980): 9-11.
Fonts
ð The preferred font is Times New Roman:
ð Phonetic fonts: use electronic phonetic fonts. If possible, please use Lucida Sans Unicode (available from http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/wells/ipa-unicode.htm). Others can be used as well, such as SILDoulosIPA, provided by the Summer Institute of Linguistics at Dallas, TX (FTP://ftp.sil.org/fonts/win/), but are more error-prone because we then have to substitute characters by the ones preferred by the publisher's production department.
Title
ð At the beginnning of the paper:
· title, author's name, author's affiliation
· followed by a short abstract (100-150 words, summarizing the contents of the paper, e.g. hypothesis / main course of the argument, data / methodology, main results)
· and a listing of up to 10 key words which characterize the contents of your paper (for abstracting services and search machines).
ð For chapter and sub-chapter titles, use the decimal system; e.g.
1. Introduction
2. Survey of recent research
2.1. American English
2.2. etc.
ð At the end of the paper (after references): "Author's address", followed by author's name and address (including e-mail).
Bibliographical entries
ð Please follow the examples below (cf. also the form used in earlier issues of the journal English World-Wide and Glauser, Schneider & Görlach 1993).
