[Lingtyp] Why cite non-Latin-script literature ONLY in Latin script?

[Christian Lehmann]

Dear David,

a conceivable solution might be the following:

In the full bibliographical reference, dispense with distinguishing 
first name and family name and consequently with the comma which we use 
if we write them in reverse order. Just put the author's name in the 
regional format, thus:

Soenjono Dardjowidjojo 1965. [details of the publication].

For the short reference form (in the running text), this appears to 
leave two options:

 1. Use the full name: Soenjono Dardjowidjojo 1965.
 2. Use the initial component of a longer name: Soenjono 1965.

Solution #1 makes the reference a bit longer, but this should not really 
be a problem.

Solution #2 would apply the following principle: The component of the 
name which is the first in the full bibliographical reference (no matter 
whether it is the family name) is the one by which you look the work up 
in the bibliography. Therefore this component is also used in the short 
reference.

Maybe something like this (it certainly would require elaboration of the 
details) could work.

Best,

Christian
