Rules and deadlines

Publishing norms for the delivery of the final version of the communication paper

DEADLINE: 31 JANUARY 2010

1. TEXTS

The communication must follow these specifications:

a) a maximum of 15 pages DIN A4, including notes and bibliographic references. 31,295 characters with spaces. 


b) Format: Word Perfect or Word (Windows). 


c) Font: Times New Roman, size 12 


d) Paragraph: justified alignment. No hyphens. The text must be double spaced. If there are examples, they must be single spaced, indented and numbered. 
If the text had digressions and / or subtitles, they must be listed in Arabic numerals.


e) Title: 

• Title: centered, lower case, size 12 
• Name and surname of the author: below the title, centered, with lower case, size 10 
• University or sites to which the author belongs: under the name, centered with lower case, size 10
• Address of the author.

2. EXAMPLES

When the communication includes examples, they may be placed outside the text or fit in it. If the first option is chosen, they must be indented in both sides, without quotation marks, in Times N.R. size 11. They must be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals in brackets. The specific area of the example you want to highlight should be highlighted in italics. When grouping several examples under the same number, classify each example with a letter, as in the following example:



(1) A. Examples [Font] 


B. Examples [Font] 


C. Examples [Font] 


All examples should indicate the source from which they were obtained. You can use one or more keywords as an abbreviation. At the end of the article, a section on "Corpus bibliography", indicating the abbreviations used and full bibliographic data sources used, should be included. 

Note: This "Corpus bibliography" is apart from the references mentioned in the text. In other words, after the conclusion, there will be a section of “corpus bibliography” and after it a section of references.

3. REFERENCES QUOTED IN TEXT

Long quotations will be separated from the body of the article and indented on both sides, without quotation marks in Times NR size 11. Short quotations may be included in the body of the article, but between quotation marks.

The bibliography will be specified at the end of the article, so it is recommended that references should be written in brackets within the text itself, including the author, year and page, for example, (Michalski 1986: 320). If it is a reprinted book, indicate the year of the first edition and the edition employed, both dates separated by a slash: ie. Lausberg (1962/1966: 232). If the edition of the book involved more than a year, the period should be reflected separating the years with a dash: ie. Meyer-Lübke (1890-1906: 169).
If it is necessary to include the author's name in the text, the year of publication and pages will go in brackets:

4. NOTES

Notes will be presented at the end of the text, numbered in successive Arabic numerals. 

Citation numbers within the text will be superscript. The stops, commas and semicolons will always be placed after the number in superscript, never before. By contrast, if there were quotes, they will always be before the number of the note and, if it is the case before the punctuation: 


(3) These are the so-called "languages by production" 1. 


5. REFERENCIAS BIBLIOGRÁFICAS

At the end of the communication you should include a paragraph of your cited references. This section will be headed by the word Bibliography in bold and centered. 
The Cataloguing data should include the following data: 
a) author or authors: surname and complete first name. If they were several authors, the names of all must be included. 
b) Year of publication in brackets. 
c) Title of Work, in italics if it is a book, and between inverted commas if an article. 
d) In the case of articles, the book or magazine where it was published must be included. If it is part of a book, all bibliographic data must be indicated, and if it comes from a magazine, the number and title must appear in italics. 
e) Printing data: city of publication and publishing company. 
f) In the case of articles, the pages it takes.
