Requirements

• The contribution must be typeset in LaTeX2e, not in LaTeX2.09.
• Make sure that the contribution compiles without errors, and preferably without warnings with maximal badness (10000).
• Your contribution should have an abstract of approximately 10 lines.
• Maximum length: 15 pages - everything included!

Style packages for LaTeX2e

You will need clin.sty and clin.bst in order to obtain the required page layout. Both packages originate from CLIN 2003, by Hendri Hondorp (University of Twente).

Furthermore, we suggest you use:

• harvard.sty for the bibliography
• gb4e.sty and cgloss4e.sty for examples and glosses
• avm.sty for the creation of AVMs
• trees.sty and tree-dvips.sty for the creation of tree schemata
• graphicx.sty for illustrations
• tipa.sty for phonetic symbols (tipa manual in postscript)

These packages are usually included in LaTeX2e. If you want to use additional packages, please let us know.

Additional Information

• Contact addresses - you should not include the author's address in the article. Addresses will be included in a separate 'Contributors' section: attach this to your email.
  
• Sample code - this is what your .tex file should look like - see the sample .tex file and the sample bibliography file.

  \documentclass[a4paper,10pt,twoside]{article}

  Note that if you want to use the \begin{equation} ... \end{equation} environment, you will have to include fleqn in the \documentclass[...]{...} options! The top of your LaTeX file should then look like this:
  \documentclass[a4paper,10pt,twoside,fleqn]{article}

  \usepackage{clin}        % Stylefile for CLIN Proceedings
  \usepackage{harvard}	 % Bibliography Stylefile
  \usepackage{...,cgloss4e,avm,trees,tree-dvips,gb4e,ipa,graphicx}
                           % Whatever other packages you need

General Style Guidelines

• Citations:
  
  
  • basic format:
    
    (Smith 1978)
    
    
  • when referring to page, section, etc. - do not use p. or pp.:
    
    (Piaget 1980, 74)
    (Pratt 1975, 121--25)
    (Johnson 1979, sec. 24.5)
    
    
  • when referring to both volume and page:
    
    (Barnes 1981, 3:125)
    
  • when referring only to a volume:
    
    (Garcia 1982, vol. 2)
    
    
  • do not use ampersand in your text:
    
    (Meredith & Lewis 1979) = wrong!
    (Meredith and Lewis 1979) = correct!
    
    
  • when there are three authors:
    
    (Wynken, Blynkin, and Nodd 1982)
    
    
  • when there are more than three authors:
    
    (Johnson et al. 1990)
    
    
  • several references given together:
    
    (Light 1972; Light and Wong 1987)
    
    
  • reference to several works by the same author:
    
    (Kelley 1896a, 1896b, 1907)
    
    
  • when all or part of the citation is incorporated in the sentence, it is not enclosed in parentheses:
    
    Jones and Carter (1980) report findings...
    
    
• Dashes:
  
  
  • use the em-dash (---) in cases like the following - no spaces:
    
    Spell out names in the glosses---so, do not leave them out.
    One of the better films of the festival---and it is not as
    if we are Tarantino fans---certainly was...
    
    
  • use the en-dash (--) for numbers, dates, times etc.:
    
    groups of 10--50 people
    Saturday 13.00--15.00 pm.
    (Pratt 1975, 121--25)
