Notes for Contributors

General:  Al-cArabiyya, the journal of the American Association of
Teachers of Arabic, is a leading journal in the field of Arabic
language and linguistics.   Al-cArabiyya welcomes scholarly and
pedagogical articles, as well as book reviews that contribute to the
advancement of study, criticism, research, and teaching in the fields
of Arabic language, linguistics, and literature.

Authors are encouraged to present an original, scholarly contribution,
a perceptive restructuring of existing knowledge, or a discussion of
an idea with information and references on how to learn more about the
topic. References should be appropriately and sufficiently extensive,
and demonstrative of comprehensive awareness of international
scholarship.  Conclusions drawn should be accurate, appropriately
documented, and soundly argued, without being overextended.

The overall length of the article should be appropriate to the
material treated and should not exceed 7,000 words (no more than 25
pp. in Times New Roman, 12 pt.).  The material should be
well-organized and the writing style fluent and professional. Articles
in Arabic are welcome. We respectfully request that authors writing in
a language other than their native language have their contribution
carefully checked by a native speaker before submission.  Do not
submit a piece that has been published elsewhere or is being
considered for publication elsewhere. Authors alone are responsible
for the opinions they express and for the accuracy of facts presented
in their articles.

Each article is sent to at least two peer reviewers for anonymous
evaluation before a final decision is made regarding acceptance to the
journal. Responses and comments concerning articles published in
previous issues will also be considered for publication. Such
responses may, at the discretion of the editor, be published under
“Brief Communications.”

The journal also welcomes translations and bibliographies, provided
they meet  Al- cArabiyya guidelines.  Translations should be scholarly
and accompanied by an introduction or critical essay, annotations,
commentaries, etc. Bibliographies should also be annotated, critical,
and accompanied by an appropriate introduction. Translations and
bibliographies are subject to the same review process as articles.

Submission:  Manuscripts should be submitted electronically by email
attachment. Please attach both a PDF version and the original MS Word
document. Number the pages in the lower right-hand corner. The
author’s identity should not be revealed in the manuscript or
electronic files; instead, a cover sheet or the body of the email
message should include: the author’s name, address (post and email),
telephone number, academic affiliation, and the title of the article.
If there are multiple authors, please provide the above information
for all contributors.

Articles will not be returned to contributors. An abstract in English
of approximately 100 to 150 words should appear at the beginning of
the article.

Typeface. Use italics only for cited linguistic forms, for titles of
books and journals, and for subsection headings. Use SMALL CAPITALS,
where essential, to give emphasis to a word, phrase, or sentence, or
to mark the first occurrence of a technical term.

Endnotes. Wherever possible, limit notes to simple and brief internal
references according to the Chicago Manual of Style, 16th edition,*
within parentheses. Endotes may be used when necessary.

Cited forms. Cited forms (letters, morphemes, words, phrases, or
sentences) should appear in italics, e.g. the prefix bi-, the word
dars. Italics are not used for forms marked as being in phonemic or
phonetic transcription, e.g. /sabt/, [sapt]. The meaning of cited
forms should appear in double quotation marks with no comma before it,
e.g. walad “boy.”

References. Full citation of references should be given at the end of
an article according to the Chicago Manual of Style, 16th edition.*
Within the text, provide in-text citations according to Chicago Manual
of Style, 16th edition*.  Give the author’s surname, year of
publication, and page number(s), where relevant, e.g. Said (1978: 31).
Such citations should be given in the body of the text, unless they
refer specifically to a statement made in an endnote.

The bibliography should be double-spaced, under the heading:
REFERENCES. Only works cited in the text should be listed. Use the
following examples as a guide:

Barlow, Michael, and Charles A. Ferguson, eds. Agreement in Natural Language:
Approaches, Theories, Descriptions. Stanford: Center for the Study of
Language and Information, 1988.
Blanc, Haim. “Stylistic Variations in Spoken Arabic: A sample of Interdialectal
Educated Conversation.” In Contributions to Arabic Linguistics, edited

	morgenländischen Gesellschaft 117 (1967): 53–73.

Transliteration/Transcription. Use an accepted or conventional system
for transliteration or transcription, as appropriate, and use it
consistently.  We suggest Doulos SIL fonts (see
http://scripts.sil.org/DoulosSILfont).

Proofs and copies:  Proofs of accepted manuscripts will typically be
sent to the author(s) for careful review, with the response deadline
indicated. Proofreading is the author’s responsibility. No extensive
alterations are possible once a manuscript has been accepted for
publication.

Authors are responsible for obtaining written permission from the
copyright holder to quote extracts or to translate a work, and for
forwarding a copy of this permission to the editor.
The author (or lead author) of an article or book review receives one
