General Guidelines
Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics is concerned with the interaction between the study of speech and language on the one hand, and disorders of speech and language on the other. Submission of practical ‘tutorial?reviews, and of more theoretical discussions are welcomed, either applying linguistic/phonetic analytic techniques to clinical problems, or showing how clinical data contribute to theoretical issues in linguistics/phonetics. Work is particularly encouraged in the less-developed areas of clinical linguistics such as clinical dialectology/sociolinguistics, childhood dysphasia, and disordered communication in bilingual and multicultural settings. Papers on language development, and other psycho- or neurolinguistic areas will be included, where they shed light on normative linguistic behaviour against which to judge the non-normal. Work in progress, readers?responses and review articles will also be published.
Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics is the official journal of the International Clinical Phonetics & Linguistics Association.

About Taylor & Francis
The foundations of Taylor & Francis were laid in pioneering fashion in 1798. Richard Taylor printed and launched the Philosophical Magazine, one of the first scientific journals published by an independent company.
It was the start of a close collaboration with scholarly societies which was cultivated throughout the 1880s. The company became the printer for the Royal Astronomical Society, the Geological Society, the Zoological Society, the Horticultural Society, the Royal Botanical Society, the British Association for the Advancement of Science, the Royal Society and the Linnean Society of London. With the proliferation of periodicals and information generated by learned societies at the turn of the century, Taylor & Francis also became pioneers in the field of abstracting journals, and in 1890 the company became the first printer of Science Abstracts the precursor of today's Physics Abstracts.
Book publishing was a mostly secondary concern for the company until the 1960s, when significant expansion was implemented at all levels from schoolbooks to high level monographs. Since then the focus of book publishing has been predominantly at the undergraduate level and above, with an ever larger number of subject areas brought into the programme.
The principles which drove the founders of Taylor and Francis are still paramount today. Academic scholarship must be of the highest quality which will be reflected in appropriate production practices and values. We hope that we remain true to those principles and that being a Taylor & Francis author is still a pleasant, profitable and proud experience.

Code of experimental ethics and practice
Contributors are required to follow the procedures in force in their countries which govern the ethics of work done with human or animal subjects. The Code of Ethics of the World Medical Association (Declaration of Helsinki) represents a minimal requirement.
When experimental animals are used, state the species, strain, number used, and other pertinent descriptive characteristics.
For human subjects or patients, describe their characteristics.
For human participants in a research survey, secure the consent for data and other material - verbatim quotations from interviews, etc. - to be used.
When describing surgical procedures on animals, identify the pre anaesthetic and anaesthetic agents used and state the amount of concentration and the route and frequency of administration for each. The use of paralytic agents, such as curare or succinylcholine, is not an acceptable substitute for anaesthetics. For other invasive procedures on animals, report the analgesic or tranquilizing drugs used; if none were used, provide justification for such exclusion.
When reporting studies on unanaesthetized animals or on humans, indicate that the procedures followed were in accordance with institutional guidelines.
Specific permission for facial photographs of patients is required. A letter of consent must accompany the photographs of patients in which a possibility of identification exists. It is not sufficient to cover the eyes to mask identity.
Mathematics
Special care should be taken with mathematical scripts, especially subscripts and superscripts and differentiation between the letter 'ell' and the figure one, and the letter 'oh 'and the figure zero. If your keyboard does not have the characters you need, it is preferable to use longhand, in which case it is important to differentiate between capital and small letters, K, k and x and other similar groups of letters. Special symbols should be highlighted in the text and explained in the margin. In some cases it is helpful to supply annotated lists of symbols for the guidance of the sub-editor and the typesetter, and/or a ‘Nomenclature?section preceding the ‘Introduction?
For simple fractions in the text, the solidus / should be used instead of a horizontal line, care being taken to insert parentheses where necessary to avoid ambiguity, for example, I/(n-1). Exceptions are the proper fractions available as single type on a keyboard.
Full formulae or equations should be displayed, that is, written on a separate line. Horizontal lines are preferable to solidi.
The solidus is not generally used for units: ms - 1 not m/s, but note electrons/s, counts/channel, etc.
Displayed equations referred to in the text should be numbered serially (1, 2, etc.) on the right hand side of the page. Short expressions not referred to by any number will usually be incorporated in the text.
Symbols should not be underlined to indicate fonts except for tensors, vectors and matrices, which are indicated with a wavy line in the manuscript (not with a straight arrow or arrow above) and rendered in heavy type in print: upright sans serif r (tensor), sloping serif r (vector) upright serif r (matrix).
Typographical requirements must be clearly indicated at their first occurrence, e.g. Greek, Roman, script, sans serif, bold, italic. Authors will be charged for corrections at proof stage resulting from a failure to do so.
Braces, brackets and parentheses are used in the order {[( )]}, except where mathematical convention dictates otherwise (i.e. square brackets for commutators and anticommutators)
Notes on style
All authors are asked to take account of the diverse audience of Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics . Clearly explain or avoid the use of terms that might be meaningful only to a local or national audience. However, note also that Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics does not aspire to be international in the ways that McDonald’s restaurants or Hilton Hotels are ‘international? we much prefer papers that, where appropriate, reflect the particularities of each higher education system.
Some specific points of style for the text of articles, research reports, case studies, reports, essay reviews, and reviews follow:
1. Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics prefers US to ‘American? USA to ‘United States? and UK to ‘United Kingdom?
2 . Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics uses conservative British, not US, spelling, i.e. colour not color; behaviour (behavioural) not behavior; [school] programme not program; [he] practises not practices; centre not center; organization not organisation; analyse not analyze, etc.
3. Single ‘quotes?are used for quotations rather than double "quotes", unless the ‘quote is "within" another quote?
4. Punctuation should follow the British style, e.g. ‘quotes precede punctuation?
5. Punctuation of common abbreviations should follow the following conventions: e.g. i.e. cf. Note that such abbreviations are not followed by a comma or a (double) point/period.
6. Dashes: M-dash should be clearly indicated in manuscripts by way of either a clear dash (? or a triple hyphen (---), N-dash should be indicated by a clear dash (? or a double hyphen (--).
7. Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics is sparing in its use of the upper case in headings and references, e.g. only the first word in paper titles and all subheads is in upper case; titles of papers from journals in the references and other places are not in upper case.
8. Apostrophes should be used sparingly. Thus, decades should be referred to as follows: ‘The 1980s [not the 1980’s] saw ...? Possessives associated with acronyms (e.g. APU), should be written as follows: ‘The APU’s findings that ...? but, NB, the plural is APUs.
9. All acronyms for national agencies, examinations, etc., should be spelled out the first time they are introduced in text or references. Thereafter the acronym can be used if appropriate, e.g. ‘The work of the Assessment of Performance Unit (APU) in the early 1980s ...? Subsequently, ‘The APU studies of achievement ...? in a reference ... (Department of Education and Science [DES] 1989a).
10. Brief biographical details of significant national figures should be outlined in the text unless it is quite clear that the person concerned would be known internationally. Some suggested editorial emendations to a typical text are indicated in the following with square brackets: ‘From the time of H. E. Armstrong [in the 19th century] to the curriculum development work associated with the Nuffield Foundation [in the 1960s], there has been a shift from heurism to constructivism in the design of [British] science courses?
11. The preferred local (national) usage for ethnic and other minorities should be used in all papers. For the USA, African-American, Hispanic, and Native American are used, e.g. ‘The African American presidential candidate, Jesse Jackson...?For the UK, African-Caribbean (not ‘West Indian?, etc.
12. Material to be emphasized (italicized in the printed version) should be underlined in the typescript rather than italicized. Please use such emphasis sparingly.
13. n (not N), % (not per cent) should be used in typescripts.
14. Numbers in text should take the following forms: 300, 3000, 30 000. Spell out numbers under 10 unless used with a unit of measure, e.g. nine pupils but 9 mm (do not introduce periods with measure). For decimals, use the form 0.05 (not .05).
15. When using a word which is or is asserted to be a proprietary term or trade mark authors?must use the symbol ?or TM or alternatively a footnote can be inserted using the wording below:
This article includes a word which is or is asserted to be a proprietary term or trade mark. Its inclusion does not imply it has acquired for legal purposes a non-proprietary or general significance, nor is any other judgement implied concerning its legal status.
16. All phonetic transcriptions should make use of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) as most recently revised, or the Extensions to the IPA for the transcription of disordered speech. Authors should take care in the use of the appropriate brackets (square or slant) for the level of transcription being used (i.e. phonetic or phonemic). The recommended IPA font is SILDoulos IPA93 to match with Times New Roman, or SILSophia IPA93 to match with Arial. If any other fonts are used, they should be embedded in the file, or provided separately on disk.
Notes on tables and figures
Artwork submitted for publication will not be returned and will be destroyed after publication, unless you request otherwise. Whilst every care is taken of artwork, neither the Editor nor Taylor & Francis shall bear any responsibility or liability for non-return, loss, or damage of artwork, nor for any associated costs or compensation. You are strongly advised to insure appropriately.
The same data should not be reproduced in both tables and figures. The usual statistical conventions should be used: a value written 10.0 ?0.25 indicates the estimate for a statistic (e.g. a mean) followed by its standard error. A mean with an estimate of the standard deviation will be written 10.0 SD 2.65. Contributors reporting ages of subjects should specify carefully the age groupings: a group of children of ages e.g. 4.0 to 4.99 years may be designated 4 +; a group aged 3.50 to 4.49 years 4 ?and a group all precisely 4.0 years, 4.0.
1. Tables and figures should be referred to in text as follows: figure 1, table 1, i.e. lower case. ‘As seen in table [or figure] 1 ...?(not Tab., fig. or Fig).
2. The place at which a table or figure is to be inserted in the printed text should be indicated clearly on a manuscript:
Insert table 2 about here
3. Each table and/or figure must have a title that explains its purpose without reference to the text.
4. All figures and tables must be on separate sheets and not embedded in the text.
Thus tables and figures must be referred to in the text and numbered in order of appearance. Each table should have a descriptive title and each column an appropriate heading. For all figures, original copies of figures should be supplied. All figures should allow for reduction to column width (7.5cm) or page width (16 cm). Photographs may be sent as glossy prints or negatives. The legends to any illustrations must be typed separately following the text and should be grouped together.
Acknowledgements
Any acknowledgements authors wish to make should be included in a separate headed section at the end of the manuscript.
Book reviews
1. The following header material should appear in all reviews in the following order (note also the punctuation):
Ashman, A. and Conway, R., 1997, An Introduction to Cognitive Education (London: Routledge). [Pp. 268.] Hdbk ISBN 0-415-12840-4. ?3.99.
2. Page references within reviews should be given as follows: (p. 337) or (pp. 36-37).
Citations in text
1. Ibid. (and the like) are not used when repeating citations. Simply repeat the original citation verbatim, e.g. (Orwell, 1945).
2. Citations should be included in prefatory material to quotes (wherever possible) rather than placing them at the end. Thus, for example, ‘Orwell (1945: 23) reduces the principles of animalism to seven commandments, namely, ...?is preferred to ‘Orwell reduced the principles of animalism to seven commandments, namely, ... (Orwell, 1945: 23)?
3. Multiple citations within parentheses should be divided by a semi-colon, not a comma, and there should be no use of ?amp;?within such multiple references. References to works published in the same year should be cited as, e.g. (Smith, 1991a; b).
4. Multiple citations within a text should be ordered by date, not alphabetically by author’s name, e.g. (Smith, 1902; Jones and Bower, 1934; Brown, 1955; 1958a; b; Green 1995).
5. et al. may be used in citations within the text when a paper or book has three or more authors and is cited more than once, but note that all names are given in the reference itself and in that references original citation.
6. Page spans in references should be given in full, e.g. ‘Sedgewick (1935: 102-103; emphasis added) outlines them as follows:?
