Submissions to the journal should be written in English. Contributors whose native language is not English should have their manuscripts read by a native speaker before submission. All contributions should be sent to the editor-in chief.
Four copies of each manuscript should be submitted and should be double-spaced throughout (including notes and references) on one side of A4 or letter-size paper, leaving wide margins. All pages should be numbered serially. The author¡¯s name should appear on a separate sheet only. Authors are requested to label at the first occurrence and clearly identify any special characters used. Non-English words should appear in italics or be underscored if no italic typeface is available. Use only double quotation marks throughout, with the exception of translations, when single quotation marks should be used. Contributors are requested to submit the final version on disk as well as a hard copy. If possible one of the common word-processors should be used.
Examples not in English must have aligned interlinear glosses and an idiomatic translation.
Figures and maps must be reproducible originals and should be submitted on separate sheets, carefully numbered and labeled. They should be referred to in the text and the approximate position should be indicated.
Notes should be kept to an absolute minimum and be as brief as possible. They may contain no tree diagrams or tables. They should be numbered consecutively and indicated in the text by a raised (superscript) number following any punctuation marks.
Citations in the text should give the name of the author/editor, the year of publication, and, in the case of quotations, the page reference, all in parentheses, for example: (Smart 1974: 22). Use "et al" in the case of more than two authors. Abbreviations such as "ibid." and "loc. cit." etc. should not be used.
The reference section should contain all works cited in the text, and only those, and they must be listed in alphabetical order of author/editor, with the full first name wherever possible, and with complete bibliographical details (including publisher); in cases of multiple authorship the names of all authors must be given. Journal and book titles must be given in full and must be italicised. Page references must be given for articles in books and journals.
