Publication Language: Articles must be written in one of the five most wide-spread European languages: English, French, German, Spanish, and Italian. However, authors should keep in mind that the size of the audience able to read the article will depend on the chosen language. Contributors writing in a non-native language are advised to have their article proof-read by a native speaker before submitting it. Each article (no matter what the language of the main text is) should be preceded by brief summaries/abstracts in the currently usual working languages of the European Union languages, viz. English, French and German (if you are not familiar with all these languages, you should at least provide an abstract in the language(s) you know). All three abstracts together should fit on the first page (i.e. 10-12 lines per abstract).

Text Processing: Contributors are asked either to submit articles as a Word document (*.doc), a Star Office document (*.sdw), an Open Office document (*.sdx), a WordPerfect document (*.wpd), or as an RTF file (*.rtf); in every instance we need 2 print-outs and a PC-processed version (if you use fonts other than basic Times New Roman, you should also submit the respective file(s) of fonts). The final version of the article will be published as a PDF file.

General Layout: Articles should be double-spaced, with a 3-cm margin on the left side and 2-cm margins on the other sides. The general font should be Times New Roman (except for author’s name and article title, which are in Arial), 12 pt. The author's name is given in small caps in the first line, centered, in 14 pt. The second line shows the title of the article, in small caps, 16 pt, and bold print, also centered. The abstract is preceded by two empty lines and is written in 10 pt. Then two empty lines precede the main text. In the body of the text each new paragraph should be preceded by one empty line. Section titles should appear in 14 pt. Subsection titles appear in 12 pt, bold print. Glosses are given in single quotation marks, while word forms and letters are italicized. Emphasized words are in bold print. The main text is followed by the name of the author and his or her address (to the right) plus e-mail, then by the references. Short quotations are surrounded by double quotations marks; long quotation marks (longer than 4 lines) are written as a separate paragraph, with the left margin indented. At the end of the article the author(s)'s name(s) and addresse(s) (including affiliation and e-mail and, if applicable, personal website) should be given on the right side in italics (preceded by one empty line). Then follows the bibliography, preceded by two empty lines (each entry as an indented hanging paragraph).

Annotations: Annotations outside the main text should appear in the form of footnotes and should be kept to the smallest number possible.

Citing and References: Quotations are given in double quotation marks, quotations in quotations in single quotation marks. Reference to a publication in the text should be given as
Miller (1950: 12)
or
(Miller 1950: 12)
