Author Guidelines

Toimetus on otsustanud loobuda Wordi-kesksest vormistusjuhendist. Kaastöö vormistamisel palume järgida üldiseid akadeemilise tekstivormistuse reegleid, eriti mis puutub autorluse anonüümsusesse. Kaastöö soovituslik maht on 40 000 tähemärki (tühikuteta, koos kõigi lisadega).

Kaastöö vormistamisel palume järgida järgmisi juhendeid:

Retsensendid arvustavad lisaks sisule ka vormistuslikku selgust.

***

The editorial team has decided to discontinue the Word-centric formatting guide. Authors are asked to follow general academic text-formatting rules throughout the manuscript. Maintain consistent formatting of headings, paragraphs, quotations, citations, references, tables, figures, abbreviations, and other textual elements. Ensure that the formatting is clear, consistent, and appropriate for an academic journal.

The length of the submission should be up to 40 000 characters (with no spaces), including special materials (e.g., tables, appendices), references, and resumé.

Authors are asked to follow these guidelines to prepare their submission:


 

Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

  1. The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).

  2. The material is normally submitted in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format and corresponding PDF files.

     

  3. Where available, URLs / DOIs for the references have been provided. Add the date of retrieval when referring to Internet-material, same for citing e-mails.

  4. If submitting to a peer-reviewed section of the journal, the instructions in Ensuring a Blind Review have been followed.
    Authors' biodata should be included on a separate sheet: title, authors' names, brief biographies, e-mail contact, and acknowledgements, if necessary.

  5. The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL / DOI addresses).
    All illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, and should be clearly labelled with a number and caption (with NO full stop at the end of the caption). Note that captions should be placed differently: above the tables, but below the figures.
  6. The paper starts, after its title, with an abstract of approximately 200 words, headed "Abstract.", and a list of keywords, headed "Keywords:".

  7. The text of the paper should be structured into sections with decimal hierarchical numbering (e.g., 1., 1.1., 1.1.1.), with a full stop placed after the final number in each section heading. No more than three levels of numbering should be used. Each section should bear a section title. The section numbering does not cover the Abstract and starts with the first section of the main text of the paper. References and Appendices are not numbered sections.

  8. Notes must appear as footnotes rather than endnotes. They are identified by consecutive superscript Arabic numbering. Please avoid excessive use of notes.

  9. Linguistic example sentences and formulas should be numbered on the left start of the line for cross reference by Arabic numbers enclosed in round brackets.
    Linguistic example sentences from languages other than text of the paper must be accompanied by a literal word-by-word gloss as well as an translation.
    For abbreviations, the authors are asked to use Leipzig Glossing Rules and List of Standard Abbreviations. Also the Childes Codes for Grammatical Morphemes are accepted.

  10. Full bibliographical references must appear under the heading "Viited / References" at the very end of the paper, alphabetically ordered by author's surname and chronologically ordered per author.
    Each reference takes the form of surname of author, first name of author [middle initial], year of publication (in case of more than one publication per year, add small letters to the year).

    The formatting of references is based on the Generic Style Sheet for Linguistics (downloadable PDF-file), which can also be found in reference management systems (e.g., Zotero, EndNote). 

    Style considerations

    In-text references should follow the form (Pajusalu 2017) or, with page numbers (Lindström, Pilvik & Plado 2021: 559–660). If multiple publications are cited, the references should be separated by semicolons and listed in chronological order (Pajusalu 2017; Lindström, Pilvik & Plado 2021: 586; Tragel & Pikksaar 2023).
