SAMPLE ABSTRACT OUTLINE
Many abstracts are rejected because they omit crucial information
rather than because of errors in what they include. A suggested
outline for abstracts is as follows:

1. Choose a title that clearly indicates the topic of the paper and is
no more than one line long.

2. State the problem or research question raised by prior work, with
specific reference to relevant prior research.

3. State the main point or argument of the proposed presentation.

4. Cite sufficient data, and explain why and how they support the main
point or argument. When examples are in languages or varieties other
than Standard English, provide word by word glosses and capitalize the
portions of the examples which are critical to the argument. Explain
abbreviations at their first occurrence.

5. If your paper presents the results of experiments, but collection
of results is not yet complete, then report what results you have
already obtained in sufficient detail so that your abstract may be
evaluated. Also indicate the nature of the experimental design and the
specific hypothesis tested.

6. State the relevance of your ideas to past work or to the future
development of the field. Describe analyses in as much detail as
possible. Avoid saying in effect ''a solution to this problem will be
presented''. If you are taking a stand on a controversial issue,
summarize the arguments that lead you to your position.

7. State the contribution to linguistic research made by the analysis.

8. While citation in the text of the relevant literature is essential,
a separate list of references at the end of the abstract is generally
unnecessary.
