CALL FOR PAPERS, FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO SUBMIT MANUSCRIPTS:
Those interested in sending a manuscript to be considered for
its publication in this special volume should send two printed copies,
double-spaced, plus a computer disk (3'5'') with a exact copy (PC
compatible) of the manuscript, preferably in WordPerfect (5.1, 5.2,
6.0, 6.1, 7.0). The deadline for the submission of manuscripts is
October 31st, 1997 (a bit later than that, might even be accepted if
justified).
R.A.E.I. will not accept articles which have also been sent to
other Journals for publication.
Further instructions on how to present the manuscript follow:
(1) A summary of about 100-150 words must be added at the
beginning of the manuscript.
(2) Citations in the text should be enclosed in double
quotation marks. References to publications inside the text should be
as follows:
As Levinson (1983: 110) suggested...
This issue has been dealt with elsewhere (Brown & Yule, 1983;
Stubbs, 1983: 45).
(3) The bibliography, double-spaced, should start on a
separate sheet at the end of the manuscript and should follow the
style of these examples (it is assumed that the titles of BOOKS,
JOURNALS and MAGAZINES have to be in italics, which is difficult -if
not impossible- to show in e-mails):
-Articles in Journals:
-Graesser, Arthur, Murray Singer, and Tom Trabasso. "Constructing
Inferences During Narrative Text Comprehension." Psychological Review
101 (1994): 371-395.
-Articles in books:
-Dolezel, Lubomir. "Narrative Worlds." Sound, Sign and Meaning:
Quinquagenary of the Prague Linguistic Circle. Ed. L. Mateijka. Ann
Arbor: Michigan Slavic Publications, 1976. 542-52.
-Articles in magazines:
-Banks, Sandra. "The Devil's on Our Radio." People 7 May 1986: 72.
-Articles in newspapers
-Kelley, Donald. "Climbing the trees of the Southland." Chicago Sun
Times 4 Jan. 1988: 33.
-Books:
-Bal, Mieke. Narratology. Toronto: Toronto UP, 1984.
-Papers presented in Conferences:
-Philips, S.U. Syntactic Variation in Judges' Uses of Language in the
Courtroom. Paper presented at the International Conference on Language
and Social Psychology, University of Bristol, July 16-19, 1979.
(4) If there are two or more publications by the same author,
the first entry is entered in standard format, but in the subsequent
titles the author's name should be replaced with ten underlined spaces
followed by a period:
__________. Jewellery of Ancient Egypt.
Besides, if more than one publication is cited belonging to
the same year, a lowercase letter (a, b, c...) should be added to the
year of publication.
(5) Footnotes can be automatically-generated inside the text,
as long as the default layout of the note numbers is not
altered. Notes should be single-spaced, and the pitch should be lower
than the main text. Normally, pitch 12 should be used for the main
text, and pitch 10 for the text in the notes.
(6) Drawings, trees, and other illustrations should be on
separate sheets at the end of the manuscript and numbered
consecutively. There should be computers files for each of these
illustrations created with the typical drawing programmes available in
the market (DrawPerfect and Presentations in the case of WordPerfect
files). If no computer files for the illustrations are supplied on the
disk, they will be scanned by the editors and reproduced as faithfully
as possible.
The authors should provide an indication in the text of where
these illustrations should be inserted.
(7) Tables should be typed on a separate sheet and must have a
number, a title, and an indication of where it is to appear in the
text. Tables should be referred to by their numbers: see table 1',
and NOT see the table below'.
The authors whose manuscripts are selected for the volume will
receive a free copy of the volume.
