INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS
Contributors should send three copies of their manuscripts to: Raymond W. Gibbs, Jr., Editor, Metaphor and Symbol, Department of Psychology, University of California-Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz, CA, 95064.
Manuscripts should be prepared according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, Fifth Edition. All manuscript copy should be double-spaced. The cover letter should include a complete mailing address for each author and the telephone number and E-mail address of the author to whom editorial correspondence is to be addressed. Figures should be in camera-ready condition. Contributors are responsible for all statements made in their work and for obtaining permission from copyright owners if they use an illustration, table, or lengthy quote (over 500 words) published elsewhere. Contributors should write to both publisher and author of such material, requesting nonexclusive world rights in all languages for use in the article and all future editions of it. Manuscripts will be evaluated on the basis of style as well as content. After a manuscript is accepted for publication, authors are asked to provide a computer disk containing the word processing file of the manuscript. Some minor copyediting may be done, but authors must take responsibility for clarity, conciseness, and felicity of expression.
In order to set off printed figurative text from nonfigurative use of (a) italicization (underlining in manuscripts) for indicating emphasis, (b) quotation marks for indicating quotations, and (c) capitalization for indicating headings and subheadings, authors should abide by the following conventions: Any sentence or phrase in which a word or words are intended as figurative should be set in quoted lower-case italics (e.g., "My soul is an enchanted boat," "to let the cat out of the bag," etc.). What are called metaphor themes or metaphor formulas should be set in quoted upper-case italics (e.g., "LIFE IS A JOURNEY," "LOVE IS INSANITY," etc.), with italicization indicated by underlining in the manuscripts. Subordinate instances of these two sample themes should be set in quoted lower-case italics ("Our relationship has come a long way" and "He was madly in love with her," respectively). In experimental reports that involve figurative and nonfigurative material or stimulus items, figurative material should be set as indicated above; nonfigurative material (e.g., literal "control" sentences) should be set in unquoted italics (e.g., This is a literal sentence).
