About the journal
Aims and scope
Natural Language & Linguistic Theory provides a forum for the discussion of theoretical research that pays close attention to natural language data, so as to provide a channel of communication between researchers of a variety of points of view. The journal actively seeks to bridge the gap between descriptive work and work of a highly theoretical, less empirically oriented nature. In attempting to strike this balance, a primary goal of the journal is to encourage work which makes complex language data accessible to those unfamiliar with the language area being studied, and work which makes complex theoretical positions more accessible to those working outside the theoretical framework under review. The journal is structured to include:
generative studies on the syntax, semantics, phonology and the lexicon of natural language;
interdisciplinary contributions written with theoretical linguists in mind;
surveys of recent theoretical developments which facilitate accessibility for a graduate student readership;
reactions/replies to recent papers;
book reviews of important linguistics titles;
special topic issues.

Manuscript Submission
Springer request the submission of manuscripts and figures in electronic form in addition to a hard−copy printout. The preferred storage medium for your electronic manuscript is a 3 1/2−inch diskette. Please label your diskette properly, giving exact details on the name(s) of the file(s), the operating system and software used. Always save your electronic manuscript in the word processor format that you use; conversions to other formats and versions tend to be imperfect. In general, use as few formatting codes as possible. For safety‘s sake, you should always retain a backup copy of your file(s). After acceptance, please make absolutely sure that you send the latest (i.e., revised) version of your manuscript, both as hard−copy printout and on diskette (submission in electronic form of the final version of your article is compulsory).Springer prefer articles submitted in word processing packages such as MS Word, WordPerfect, etc. running under operating systems MS DOS, Windows and Apple Macintosh, or in the file format LaTeX. Articles submitted in other software programs can also be accepted.For submission in LaTeX, Springer have developed a Springer LaTeX class file, which can be downloaded from the link below. Use of this class file is highly recommended. Do not use versions downloaded from other sites. Technical support is available at: texhelp@springer.com. If you are not familiar with TeX/LaTeX, the class file will be of no use to you. In that case, submit your article in a common word processor format.For the purposes of reviewing, authors are encouraged to submit an anonymous, single−spaced electronic version of their paper in PDF format as an E−mail attachment. Information about the paper and the author(s), with full mailing address(es), should be included in the body of the E−mail message. Send to:Phonology manuscripts − Michael Kenstowicz or Junko ItoAll other manuscripts − Joan Maling or any of the other editorsSee above for addresses.
Reviewing Procedure
Natural Languages & Linguistic Theory follows a double−blind reviewing procedure. Authors are therefore requested to place their name and affiliation on a separate page. Self−identifying citations and references in the article text should either be avoided or left blank when manuscripts are first submitted. Authors are responsible for reinserting self−identifying citations and references when manuscripts are prepared for final submission.
Manuscript Presentation
The journal‘s language is English. British English or American English spelling and terminology may be used, but either one should be followed consistently throughout the article. There is no absolute limit on article length, but any manuscript longer than 60 pages (including footnotes and references) is unlikely to be reviewed rapidly. Manuscripts longer than this should very rarely be submitted − such length is almost never justified. Manuscripts should be typewritten on A4 or US Letter bond paper, one side only, leaving 1−inch (2.54 cm) margins on all sides to allow for reviewers?remarks. Please double−space all material, including notes and references. Quotations of more than 40 words should be set off clearly, either by indenting the left−hand margin or by using a smaller typeface. Use double quotation marks for direct quotations and single quotation marks for quotations within quotations and for words or phrases used in a special sense.Number the pages consecutively with the first page containing:
Abstract
|
Please provide a short abstract of approximately 200 words. The abstract should not contain any undefined abbreviations or unspecified references. | Abbreviations
|
Abbreviations should be explained at first occurrence. | Article Types
Transliteration
|
Where possible, all examples from languages not using the Latin alphabet, in particular all East Asian languages, should be transliterated using an accepted system of transliteration, including tone marks where they are part of the standard orthography, as in pinyin Chinese. Authors should use their chosen system consistently throughout the manuscript. Where no standard system has been adopted in the literature (e.g., examples of certain dialects never described before), use symbols to represent sounds that are as close to the IPA symbols as possible, and give explanations where appropriate. Where a transliteration system is already used in the literature, no new transliteration system invented by the author will be accepted. |
|
Example sentencesIn the text, all examples should be numbered with Arabic numerals enclosed in parentheses. If several examples are cited together as a group, use a numeral enclosed in parentheses for the whole group, and a lowercase letter of the alphabet followed by a full stop for each example. The first words of all examples (excluding diacritics for grammaticality status) should be aligned. In the text, examples and subexamples are referred to by their numbers and letters enclosed in parentheses, as in (5), (7a), (8b), etc. In footnotes, examples are numbered using lowercase Roman numerals: (i), (ii), (iiia), etc.Each example sentence in languages other than English must be translated into English twice. First, give a word−for−word gloss, and then an idiomatic translation. The word−for−word glosses should be neatly aligned under the original forms, and the idiomatic translation should follow on a line below, enclosed in single quotes. Example: |

|
Submission of electronic figuresIn addition to hard−copy printouts of figures, authors are requested to supply the electronic versions of figures in either Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) or TIFF format. Many other formats, e.g., Microsoft Postscript, PiCT (Macintosh) and WMF (Windows), cannot be used and the hard copy will be scanned instead.Figures should be saved in separate files without their captions, which should be included with the text of the article. Files should be named according to DOS conventions, e.g., ‘figure1.eps? For vector graphics, EPS is the preferred format. Lines should not be thinner than 0.25pts and in−fill patterns and screens should have a density of at least 10%. Font−related problems can be avoided by using standard fonts such as Times Roman and Helvetica. For bitmapped graphics, TIFF is the preferred format but EPS is also acceptable. The following resolutions are optimal: black−and−white line figures − 600 − 1200 dpi; line figures with some grey or coloured lines − 600 dpi; photographs − 300 dpi; screen dumps − leave as is. Higher resolutions will not improve output quality but will only increase file size, which may cause problems with printing; lower resolutions may compromise output quality. Please try to provide artwork that approximately fits within the typeset area of the journal. Especially screened originals, i.e. originals with grey areas, may suffer badly from reduction by more than 10−15%. |
|
Avoiding problems with the EPS graphicsPlease always check whether the figures print correctly to a PostScript printer in a reasonable amount of time. If they do not, simplify your figures or use a different graphics program.If EPS export does not produce acceptable output, try to create an EPS file with the printer driver (see below). This option is unavailable with the Microsoft driver for Windows NT, so if you run Windows NT, get the Adobe driver from the Adobe site (www.adobe.com).If EPS export is not an option, e.g., because you rely on OLE and cannot create separate files for your graphics, it may help us if you simply provide a PostScript dump of the entire document. |
|
How to set up for EPS and Postscript dumps under winowsCreate a printer entry specifically for this purpose: install the printer ‘Apple Laserwriter Plus?and specify ‘FILE? as printer port. Each time you send something to the ‘printer?you will be asked for a filename. This file will be the EPS file or PostScript dump that we can use.The EPS export option can be found under the PostScript tab. EPS export should be used only for single−page documents. For printing a document of several pages, select ‘Optimise for portability?instead. The option ‘Download header with each job?should be checked. |
|
Submission of hard−copy figuresIf no electronic versions of figures are available, submit only high−quality artwork that can be reproduced as is, i.e., without any part having to be redrawn or re−typeset. The letter size of any text in the figures must be large enough to allow for reduction. Photographs should be in black−and−white on glossy paper. If a figure contains colour, make absolutely clear whether it should be printed in black−and−white or in colour. Figures that are to be printed in black−and−white should not be submitted in colour. Authors will be charged for reproducing figures in colour.Each figure and table should be numbered and mentioned in the text. The approximate position of figures and tables should be indicated in the margin of the manuscript. On the reverse side of each figure, the name of the (first) author and the figure number should be written in pencil; the top of the figure should be clearly indicated. Figures and tables should be placed at the end of the manuscript following the Reference section. Each figure and table should be accompanied by an explanatory legend. The figure legends should be grouped and placed on a separate page. Figures are not returned to the author unless specifically requested.In tables, footnotes are preferable to long explanatory material in either the heading or body of the table. Such explanatory footnotes, identified by superscript letters, should be placed immediately below the table. | Section Headings
|
Section headings should be numbered (e.g., 1., 1.1, 1.1.1, 2., 2.1, etc.). | Appendices
|
Supplementary material should be collected in an Appendix and placed before the Notes and Reference sections. | Notes
|
Please use footnotes rather than endnotes. Notes should be indicated by consecutive superscript numbers in the text. The references should be collected in a list at the end of the article. A source reference note should be indicated by means of an asterisk after the title. This note should be placed at the bottom of the first page. | Cross−Referencing
|
In the text, a reference identified by means of an author‘s name should be followed by the date of the reference in parentheses and page number(s) where appropriate. When there are more than two authors, only the first author‘s name should be mentioned, followed by ‘et al.? In the event that an author cited has had two or more works published during the same year, the reference, both in the text and in the reference list, should be identified by a lower case letter like ‘a?and ‘b?after the date to distinguish the works. |
