About the journal
Description
The Journal is devoted to the problems of general linguistics. Its aim is to present work of current interest in all areas of linguistics. Contributions are required to contain such general theoretical implications as to be of interest to any linguist, whatever their own specialisation.
No particular linguistic theories or scientific trends are favoured: scientific quality and scholarly standing are the only criteria applied in the selection of papers accepted for publication.
Lingua publishes papers of any length, if justified, as well as review articles surveying developments in the various fields of linguistics, and occasional discussions. A considerable number of pages in each issue are devoted to critical book reviews. Lingua also publishes Lingua Franca articles consisting of provocative exchanges expressing strong opinions on central topics in Linguistics; The Decade In articles which are educational articles offering the nonspecialist linguist an overview of a given area of study; and Taking up the Gauntlet special issues composed of a set number of papers examining one set of data and exploring whose theory offers the most insight with a minimal set of assumptions and a maximum of arguments. Lingua also publishes themed special issues and has the facility to publish supplementary material online, for example, audio and video files.
A substantial part of the royalties for Lingua support the Lingua Scholarship, a graduate student position at the institution of the Executive Editor. This graduate student provides administrative assitance toLingua during the preparation of his/her doctoral thesis.
Instructions to Authors
Guide for Authors
Submission of papers
Submit one electronic copy of the initial manuscript, preferably in PDF format - including all artwork and special fonts. Authors should ensure that the fonts they use in PDF manuscripts are embedded. This copy should be sent either on a disk or as an e-mail attachment to the Executive editor:
J. Rooryck,
Department of French,
P.O. Box 9515,
2300 RA Leiden,
The Netherlands.
E-mail: J.E.C.V.rooryck@let.leidenuniv.nl.
Articles can be submitted in English, French or German. Important notice: the electronic manuscript should be strictly anonymous: authors should not identify themselves in the electronic manuscript itself, or in the filename used for the manuscript. Authors are requested to include their name, the title of the paper, and their address and affiliation in the e-mail message.
Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture or academic thesis), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, without the written consent of the Publisher.
Receipt of manuscripts will be acknowledged, but they cannot be returned; therefore, authors should retain a copy of the paper exactly as it was submitted. Since page proofs cannot be sent to authors for last minute corrections, authors must proofread manuscripts carefully, giving special attention to the accuracy of quotations and references. Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to transfer copyright (for more information on copyright see  http://www.elsevier.com/copyright). This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information. A letter will be sent to the corresponding author confirming receipt of the manuscript. A form facilitating transfer of copyright will be provided. If excerpts from other copyrighted works are included, the author(s) must obtain written permission from the copyright owners and credit the source(s) in the article.

Preparation of the text of final, accepted submissions
Article submissions should not normally exceed 20,000 words excluding tables. Italics are not to be used for expressions of Latin origin, for example, in vivo, et al., per se. Use decimal points (not commas); use a space for thousands (10 000 and above). An electronic version of the text should be submitted together with either an electronic PDF version or a final hardcopy of the manuscript. We accept most word processing formats, but Word, WordPerfect or LaTeX is preferred. The electronic Word, WordPerfect or LaTeX versions must match the PDF or hardcopy versions exactly. In case you submit a hard copy, print the entire manuscript on one side of the paper only, using double spacing and wide (3 cm) margins. (Avoid full justification, i.e., do not use a constant right-hand margin.) Ensure that each new paragraph is clearly indicated. Present tables, figure legends, abstracts and keywords on separate pages at the end of the manuscript. If possible, consult a recent issue of the journal to become familiar with layout and conventions. Number all pages consecutively. Provide the following data on the title page (in the order given).
Title: Concise and informative.
Titles are often used in information-retrieval systems. Avoid abbreviations and formulae where possible.
Author names and affiliations:
Where the family name may be ambiguous (e.g., a double name), please indicate this clearly. Present the authors' affiliation addresses (where the actual work was done) below the names. Indicate all affiliations with a lowercase superscript letter immediately after the author's name and in front of the appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of each affiliation, including the country name, and, if available, the e-mail address of each author. Corresponding author: Clearly indicate who is willing to handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication, also post-publication. Ensure that telephone and fax numbers (with country and area code) are provided in addition to the e-mail address and the complete postal address.
Present/permanent address:
If an author has moved since the work described in the article was done, or was visiting at the time, a 'Present address' (or 'Permanent address') may be indicated as a footnote to that author's name. The address at which the author actually did the work must be retained as the main, affiliation address.Superscript Arabic numerals are used for such footnotes.
Abstract:
A concise and factual abstract is require (maximum length 200 words). The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separate from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. References should therefore be avoided, but if essential, they must be cited in full, without reference to the reference list.
Keywords:
Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 6 keywords, avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, 'and', 'of'). Be sparing with abbreviations: only abbreviations firmly established in the field may be eligible.These keywords will be used for indexing purposes. Further conventions
1 Cited forms of the language discussed should be italicized in the main text, and in the example sentences.
2 Glosses are added directly after the cited form, between single quotes: ' . . .'.
3 An asterisk precedes reconstructed, hypothetical or non-occurring forms: ...
Arrangement of the article
Subdivision of the article: Divide your article into clearly defined and numbered sections. Subsections should be numbered 1.1(then 1.1.1,1.1.2,...), 1.2, etc. (the abstract is not included in section numbering). Use this numbering also for internal cross-referencing: do not just refer to 'the text.' Any subsection may be given a brief heading. Each heading should appear on its ownseparate line.
Introduction:
State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or asummary of the results.Discussion: This should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them.Conclusions: A short Conclusions section is to be presented and should be divided into specific points.Nomenclature: Please supply, as a separate list, the definitions of field-specific terms used in your article.
Appendices:
If there is more than one appendix, they should be identified as A, B, etc.Acknowledgements: Place acknowledgements, including information on grants received, before the references, in a separatesection, and not as a footnote on the title page. Figure legends, tables, figures, schemes: Present these in the text where they occur. State the number of legends, tables, figures, schemes occurring in the article in the email message or the letter accompanying your paper. High-resolution graphics files must always be provided separate from the main text file (see Preparation of illustrations).
Tables:
Number tables consecutively inaccordance with their appearance in the text. Place foot notes to tables below the table body and indicate them with superscript lowercase letters. Avoid vertical rules. Be sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the datapresented in tables do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article.
References
Responsibility for the accuracy of bibliographic citations lies entirely with the authors. Citations in the text. Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Any references cited in the abstract must be given in full. Unpublished results and personal communications should not be in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text. Citation of a reference as 'in press' implies that the item has been accepted for publication. Citing and listing of web references. As a minimum, the full URL should be given. Any further information, if known (author names, dates, reference to a source publication, etc.), should also be given. Web references can be listed separately (e.g., after the reference list) under a different heading if desired, or can be included in the reference list.
Text:
All citations in the text should refer to:
1 Single author: the author's name (without initials, unless there is ambiguity) and the year of publication;
2 Two authors: both authors' names and the year of publication;
3 Three or more authors: first author's name followed by 'et al.' and the year of publication.
Citations may be made directly (or parenthetically). Groups of references should be listed first alphabetically, then chronologically.Examples: 'as demonstrated (Allan, 1996a, 1996b, 1999; Allan and Jones, 1995). Kramer et al. (2000) have recently shown List: References should be arranged first alphabetically and then further sorted chronologically if necessary. More than one reference from the same author(s) in the same year must be identified by the letters 'a', 'b', 'c', etc., placed after the year of publication.
Examples:
Reference to a journal publication: Wilson, D., Sperber, D., 1992. On verbal irony. Lingua 87, 53-76.
Reference to a book:
Chomsky, N., 1995. The Minimalist Program. MIT Press, Cambridge, MA. Reference to a chapter in an edited book: Szabolcsi, A., 1994. The noun phrase. In: Kiefer, F., Kiss, K. (Eds.), Syntax and Semantics: The Syntactic Structure of Hungarian, vol. 27. Academic Press, New York, pp. 179-274.
Electronic format requirements for accepted articles:
Always keep a backup copy of the electronic file for reference and safety. Label storage media with your name, journal title, and software used. Save your files using the default extension of the program used. No changes to the accepted version are permissible without the explicit approval of the Editor. Electronic files can be stored on 3? inch diskette, ZIP-disk or CD (either MS-DOS or Macintosh). Although Elsevier can process most wordprocessor file formats, should your electronic file prove to be unusable, the article will be typeset from the hardcopy printout.
Preparation of illustrations
Submitting your artwork in an electronic format helps us to produce your work to the best possible standards, ensuring accuracy, clarity and a high level of detail.
Always supply high-quality printouts of your artwork, in case conversion of the electronic artwork is problematic.
Make sure you use uniform lettering and sizing of your original artwork.
Save text in illustrations as 'graphics' or enclose the font.
Only use the following fonts in your illustrations: Arial, Courier, Helvetica, Times, Symbol.
Number the illustrations according to their sequence in the text.
Use a logical naming convention for your artwork files, and supply a separate listing of the files and the software used.
Provide all illustrations as separate files and as hardcopy printouts on separate sheets.
Produce images near to the desired size of the printed version.
Files can be stored on 3 inch diskette, ZIP-disk or CD (either MS-DOS or Macintosh).A detailed guide on electronic artwork is available on our website: http://www.elsevier.com/artworkinstructions. You are urged to visit this site; some excerpts from the detailed information are given here. Formats Regardless of the application used, when your electronic artwork is finalised, please 'save as' or convert the images to one of the following formats (Note the resolution requirements for line drawings, halftones, and line/halftone combinations given below.):
EPS: Vector drawings. Embed the font or save the text as 'graphics'.
TIFF: Colour or greyscale photographs (halftones): always use a minimum of 300 dpi.
TIFF: Bitmapped line drawings: use a minimum of 1000 dpi.
TIFF: Combinations bitmapped line/half-tone (colour or greyscale): a minimum of 500 dpi is required.
DOC, XLS or PPT: If your electronic artwork is created in any of these Microsoft Office applications please supply 'as is'.
Please do not:
Supply embedded graphics in your word processor (spreadsheet, presentation) document;
Supply files that are optimised for screen use (like GIF, BMP, PICT, WPG); the resolution is too low;
Supply files that are too low in resolution;
Submit graphics that are disproportionately large for the content
Non-electronic illustrations
Provide all illustrations as high-quality printouts, suitable for reproduction (which may include reduction) without retouching.Number illustrations consecutively in the order in which they are referred to in the text. They should accompany the manuscript,but should not be included within the text. Clearly mark all illustrations on the back (or-in case of line drawings-on the lowerfront side) with the figure number and the author's name and, in cases of ambiguity, the correct orientation.Mark the appropriate position of a figure in the article.
Captions
Ensure that each illustration has a caption. Supply captions on a separate sheet, not attached to the figure. A caption should comprise a brief title (not on the figure itself) and a description of the illustration. Keep text in the illustrations themselves to a minimum but explain all symbols and abbreviations used.
Line drawings
Supply high-quality printouts on white paper produced with black ink. The lettering and symbols, as well as other details, should have proportionate dimensions, so as not to become illegible or unclear after possible reduction; in general, the figures should be designed for a reduction factor of two to three. The degree of reduction will be determined by the Publisher. Illustrations will not be enlarged. Consider the page format of the journal when designing the illustrations. Photocopies are not suitable for reproduction. Do not use any type of shading on computer-generated illustrations.
Photographs (halftones)
Please supply original photographs for reproduction, printed on glossy paper, very sharp and with good contrast. Remove nonessential areas of a photograph. Do not mount photographs unless they form part of a composite figure. Where necessary, insert a scale bar in the illustration (not below it), as opposed to giving a magnification factor in the legend. Note that photocopies of photographs are not acceptable.
Colour illustrations
Submit colour illustrations as original photographs, high-quality computer prints or transparencies, close to the size expected in publication, or as 35 mm slides. Polaroid colour prints are not suitable. If, together with your accepted article, you submit usable colour figures then Elsevier will ensure, at no additional charge, that these figures will appear in colour on the web (e.g., ScienceDirect and other sites) regardless of whether or not these illustrations are reproduced in colour in the printed version. For colour reproduction in print, you will receive information regarding the costs from Elsevier after receipt of your accepted article. For further information on the preparation of electronic artwork, please see http://authors.elsevier.com/artwork.
Please note: Because of technical complications which can arise by converting colour figures to 'grey scale' (for the printed version should you not opt for colour in print) please submit in addition usable black and white prints corresponding to all the colour illustrations.
Preparation of supplementary data:
Elsevier now accepts electronic supplementary material to support and enhance your scientific research. Supplementary files offer the author additional possibilities to publish supporting applications, movies, animation sequences, high-resolution images, background datasets, sound clips and more. Supplementary files supplied will be published online alongside the electronic version of your article in Elsevier web products, including ScienceDirect: http://www.sciencedirect.com. In order to ensure that your submitted material is directly usable, please ensure that data is provided in one of our recommended file formats. Authors should submit the material in electronic format together with the article and supply a concise and descriptive caption for each file. For more detailed instructions please visit http://www.elsevier.com/author
Proofs
When your manuscript is received by the Publisher it is considered to be in its final form. Proofs are not to be regarded as 'drafts'. One set of page proofs in PDF format will be sent by e-mail to the corresponding author (if we do not have an email address then paper proofs will be sent by post). Elsevier now sends PDF proofs which can be annotated; for this you will need to download Adobe Reader version 7 available free from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstpe2.html. Instructions on how to annotate PDF files will accompany the proofs. If you do not wish to use the PDF function, you may list the corrections (including replies to the Query Form) on a printout of your proof and return by fax, or scan the pages and email, or post.
Please use this proof only for checking and typesetting, editing, completeness and correctness of the text, tables and figures. Significant changes to the article as accepted for publication will only be considered at this stage with permission from the Editor. We will do everything possible to get your article published quickly and accurately. Therefore, it is important to ensure that all of your corrections are sent back to us in one communication: please check carefully before replying, as inclusion of any subsequent corrections cannot be guaranteed. Proofreading is soley your responsibility. Note that Elsevier may proceed with the publication of your article if no response is received.
Offprints
The corresponding author, at no cost, will be provided with a PDF file of the article via e-mail or, alternatively, 25 free paper offprints. The PDF file is a watermarked version of the published article and includes a cover sheet with the journal cover image and a disclaimer outlining the terms and conditions of use.
