About the journal
Aims and Scope
Close
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.
Instructions to Authors
Instructions for Authors
Natural Language & Linguistic Theory
Manuscript Submission
Natural Language & Linguistic Theory welcomes the submission of articles in either of two categories:
(a) full-length articles, with a maximum length of 40 single-spaced manuscript pages
(b) short articles, with a maximum length of 15 single-spaced manuscript pages
The Editors request that the suggested maximum page limits be adhered to as closely as possible. Manuscripts whose length exceeds the suggested maxima are unlikely to be reviewed expeditiously.
How to submit
Authors should submit their manuscripts on line, via Editorial Manager, at: http://www.editorialmanager.com/nala.

Once the submission process has been completed, you will receive a confirmation via E-mail.
Language
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.
Review procedure
Natural Language & Linguistic Theory follows a double-blind reviewing procedure. Authors are therefore requested not to include their name and affiliation in the manuscript submitted for review. Self-identifying citations and references in the article text should either be avoided or left blank when manuscripts are submitted for review.

Manuscript preparation
Abstract
Please provide an abstract of approx. 200 words. The abstract should not contain any undefined abbreviations or unspecified references.
Keywords
Please provide 4 to 6 keywords which can be used for indexing purposes.
Text formatting
Manuscripts can be either submitted in Word or Latex:
For submission in Word
• Use a regular font (e.g., 10-point Times Roman) for text.
• Use italics for emphasis.
• Use the automatic page numbering function to number the pages.
• Do not use field functions.
• Use tab stops or other commands for indents, not the space bar.
• Use the table function, not spreadsheets, to make tables.
• Use the equation editor or MathType for equations.
Note: If you use Word 2007, do not create the equations with the default equation editor but use MathType instead.
• Save your file in two formats: doc and rtf. Do not submit docx files.
For submission in LaTeX
For submission in LaTeX, Springer provides a LaTeX macro package, available at: ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/svjour3/global.zip.
When using this package, please activate the format smallextended.
The submission should include the original source (including all style files and figures).
Word template
Heading levels, numbering
Please use the decimal system of headings with no more than three levels.
Abbreviations and acronyms
Abbreviations should be defined at first mention and used consistently thereafter.
Quotations
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.
Footnotes
Footnotes to the text are numbered consecutively; those to tables should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks for significance values and other statistical data).
Acknowledgments
Acknowledgments of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a separate section before the reference list. The names of funding organizations should be written in full.
Tables
• All tables are to be numbered using Arabic numerals.
• Tables should always be cited in the text in consecutive numerical order.
• For each table, please supply a table heading. The table title should explain clearly and concisely the components of the table.
• Identify any previously published material by giving the original source in the form of a reference at the end of the table heading.
• Footnotes to tables should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks for significance values and other statistical data) and included beneath the table body.
Figures
• All figures are to be numbered using Arabic numerals.
• Figure parts should be denoted by lowercase letters.
• Figures should always be cited in the text in consecutive numerical order.
• For each figure, please supply a figure caption.
• Make sure to identify all elements found in the figure in the caption.
• Identify any previously published material by giving the original source in the form of a reference at the end of the caption.
• For more information about preparing your illustrations, please follow the hyperlink to the artwork instructions on the right.
References
The list of References should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications and unpublished works should only be mentioned in the text. Do not use footnotes or endnotes as a substitute for a reference list.
Citation in text
Cite references in the text by name and year in parentheses. Some examples:
• Negotiation research spans many disciplines (Thompson 1990).
• This result was later contradicted (Becker and Seligman 1996).
• This effect has been widely studied (Abbott 1991; Barakat et al. 1995; Kelso and Smith 1998; Medvec et al. 1993).
List style
Reference list entries should be alphabetized by the last names of the first author of each work. Include full first names for all authors.

Electronic Supplementary Material
If Electronic Supplementary Material (ESM) is submitted, it will be published as received from the author in the online version only. ESM may consist of
• information that cannot be printed: animations, video clips, sound recordings
• information that is more convenient in electronic form: sequences, spectral data, etc.
• bulky original data, e.g. additional tables, illustrations, etc.
If you are supplying any ESM, the text must make specific mention of the material as a citation, similar to that of figures and tables (e.g., “. . . as shown in Animation 3.”).
For details on formats and other information, please follow the hyperlink to the specific instructions for electronic supplementary material on the right.
Legal requirements
Submission of a manuscript implies: that the work has not been published before; that it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities – tacitly or explicitly – at the institute where the work has been carried out. The publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation.
Permissions
Authors wishing to include figures, tables, or text passages that have already been published elsewhere are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) and to include evidence that such permission has been granted when submitting their papers. Any material received without such evidence will be assumed to originate from the authors.
After Acceptance
During the production of your paper, you will receive messages containing information about the following subjects:
Open Choice In addition to the normal publication process (whereby an article is submitted to the journal and access to that article is granted to paying subscribers), Springer now provides an alternative publishing option: Springer Open Choice (http://springer.com/openchoice). A Springer Open Choice article receives all the benefits of a regular subscription-based article, but in addition is made available publicly through Springer’s online platform SpringerLink. We regret that Springer Open Choice cannot be ordered for published articles.
Copyright transfer
Authors will be asked to transfer copyright of the article to the Publisher (or grant the Publisher exclusive publication and dissemination rights). This will ensure the widest possible protection and dissemination of information under copyright laws.
Open Choice articles do not require transfer of copyright as the copyright remains with the author. In opting for open access, authors agree to the Springer Open Choice Licence.
Offprints/Reprints
Free and/or additional offprints can be ordered by the corresponding author. 25 offprints of each contribution are supplied free of charge to the corresponding author.
Color in print
Online publication of color illustrations is free of charge. For color in the print version, authors will be expected to make a contribution towards the extra costs.
Online first
The article will be published on line after receipt of the corrected proofs. This is the official first publication citable with the DOI. After release of the printed version, the paper can also be cited by issue and page numbers.
Proofreading
The purpose of the proof is to check for typesetting errors and the completeness and accuracy of the text, tables and figures. Substantial changes in content, e.g., new results, corrected values, title and authorship, are not allowed without the approval of the Editor. After online publication, further changes can only be made in the form of an Erratum, which will be hyperlinked to the article.
