- Do not use any pre-set or personal styles for text formatting. Remove all such styles prior to submission.
- No page numbering.
- No abbreviations such as ibid. and loc. cit.
- Use conventional typography (English “curved” quotation marks, single quotation marks for ‘citations’ within other citations, apostrophes (’) rather than accents, no spaces before punctuation marks, single space after punctuation marks, use tabulator (i.e. not spacebar) for aligning paragraphs, indenting or positioning the text on the page)
- Tables and figures – must be in electronic form and fit within the margins of the page. Use captions (Table 1/Figure 1) with descriptions above the relevant tables and figures.

Intext citations
- Short citations should specify the name of the author/editor, the year of publication and page reference (for quoted text only). Try to avoid using page numbers only. Identify publications with the name of the author and year of publication, not the title of the book. For more than two authors, use et al. Use parentheses as follows:
- Movement and manipulative causation are regarded as belonging to the core of causative events (Talmy 1976).
- For example, Jackendoff (1983: 177) offers two possible interpretations: [...]
- Biber et al. (1999) term this category circumstance adverbials.
- Long citations should be indented without any change of lining, font or size, and be separated from the preceding and following text by an empty line.
References
- All works cited in the text (and only those) must be included in the ‘References’ section, listed in the alphabetical order according to author/editor and with complete bibliographical data.
- Use full names, if known.
- Each citation should be internally complete.
- Internet sources are treated like books (author, year of publication, title). The address and date of consultation should be provided.
