Style sheet for contributors
(established by Jane Smith, University of Maine)
1. Page layout
* Leave margins of 1 inch (2.54 cm) on all four sides of the page.
* Use 12pt Times New Roman font throughout the manuscript.
* Use single spacing throughout the manuscript.
* Use double spacing between paragraphs.
* Use left aligned paragraphs (no justification).
2. Section headings
Sections should be numbered in Arabic numerals, with a period after the number. The section title (i.e., level A) should follow on the same line, in bold italics; leave a two line space above and a one line space below. Subsection (i.e., level B) titles should be introduced by two numbers (e.g. 1.1.), and should appear in italics, with a one line space above and one below. If a further level (level C) of subheadings is necessary, it should be introduced by three numbers (e.g. 1.1.1.), and appear in italics, with a one line space above, and the text on the next line.
3. Tables, figures, maps, etc.
These should be submitted in a separate file, which includes titles. Indicate in the text the approximate position of each table, figure etc. with a notation like:
INSERT TABLE 1 ABOUT HERE
4. Examples, cited words, etc.
* Linguistic examples (e.g. sentences to illustrate a point) should be indented and numbered consecutively.
* Use italics for all cited linguistic forms and examples in the text (with glosses, if necessary, enclosed in single quotes).
* Use single quotation marks, except for quotes within quotes.
* Indent long quotations (those longer than three lines) without quotation marks, and set off from the text with a one line space above and below.
5. References in the text
* Use the normal author-date style, e.g.: Wolfram (1999:253) states "...."; Wolfram (1999) has argued that ...; the claim has been made that ... (Wolfram 1999).
* When referring to more than one publication in the same parentheses, use chronological order - e.g., (Wolfram 1999, Labov 2002).
6. Endnotes
* Use notes sparingly, and endnotes rather than footnotes.
* Notes should appear in a separate section after the text, entitled Notes (with the title bolded at the left margin), and separated from the end of the text by two lines; leave a one line space between endnotes.
7. References
* All and only the works referred to in the text should appear in a separate section following the Notes, and separated from them by two lines. This section should be entitled References (bolded at the left margin). Leave a one line space between references.
* Arrange the entries alphabetically by author, with each entry forming a separate hanging indented paragraph. Multiple works by the same author should appear chronologically, starting with the earliest; if you cite more than one work by a single author in the same year, suffix the letters a, b, etc. to the date.
* If you cite more than one article from a single book, list the book as a separate entry under the editor's name, with a cross-reference to the book in the entry for each article.
* Please ensure that page numbers are provided for all journal articles and chapters in books.
