Revistas da Flup

Prospective authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts to Linguística. Revista de Estudos Linguísticos da Universidade do Porto. Full-length articles should deal with original topics or research. For initial submission, an email copy should be sent to the Editor, without any authors’ identification, accompanied by a separate title page, giving each author’s name, affiliation, address (to which proofs and editorial correspondence can be sent), phone, and e-mail address. For co-authored papers, first author’s contacts will be used in further correspondence.
After a paper is accepted for publication, authors must present a final version as specified below and in full accordance with the instructions provided by this style sheet.

Word processors and other software: MS Word for Windows (DOC, DOCX or RTF file). For papers with specific symbols or figures (phonetic transcription, syntax trees a.s.o.), a PDF version (in addition to a DOC, DOCX or RTF version) is required. Moreover, clear indication of the used software must be given to the Editor. For phonetic transcription, please use the IPA-samd Uclphon1 SILDoulos font.

Final versions of accepted papers will observe the following specifications.
The Editor reserves the right to return the manuscript to the authors for any corrections when these norms are not respected.

All personal communications should be identified as ‘p.c.’ after the source name and given a date (if possible) (e. g.: Matthews p.c. 2004).

References should be listed alphabetically by author at the end of the article. Please type REFERENCES (Times New Roman, 12 pt, bold, small capitals, left-aligned) before the first reference. An empty line (12 pt) should be kept immediately above and underneath this heading. All references in Times New Roman 12 pt, single-spacing, indented, as in the following examples. For references with more than one author, use a comma; and ‘&’ to separate the last co-authors’ name; or et al. (for three or above three authors) in the reference list.
Use the references style proposed at: http://mitpress.mit.edu/journals/LING/li-style.pdf Here are some examples:

- Books:
Kuhn, T. 1962. The structure of scientific revolutions. Chicago: The University of Chicago Press.
- Papers in journals:
Jusczyk, P. W., Goodman, M. B. & Baumann, A. 1999. Nine-Month-Olds’ Attention to Sound Similarities in Syllables. Journal of Memory and Language. 40(1): 62-82.

- Chapters in books:
Goodluck, H. 1986. Language acquisition and linguistic theory. In: P. Fletcher & M. Garman (Eds.).
Language Acquisition. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 49-68.
Do not include the edited volume as a separate entry of the reference list, unless it is explicitly referred to as such in the text. In this latter case, proceed as follows:
Fletcher, P. & Garman, M. (Eds.). 1986. Language Acquisition. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.

- Unpublished material and other sources:
Give as many details as you can. For unpublished manuscripts or mimeographs, consider them as books and indicate ‘ms’ instead of publisher’s identification. For submitted or forthcoming papers, treat them as papers and supply information such as ‘forthcoming’, ‘in press’ or ‘in preparation’.

Appendices
When absolutely essential, a final section of appendices can be included after the reference list. This section may contain experimental items, corpora or pictures relevant for the illustration of the authors’ points of view or for the demonstration of experimental results. Appendices are ordered consecutively with capital letters (Appendix A, B, C...). The Editor reserves the right to judge any appendix irrelevant and therefore to suggest its suppression from the final publication. The inclusion of a section of appendices should be regarded as exceptional.

Notes and acknowledgements: Footnotes in the text should be identified by superscript numbers and listed consecutively at each page bottom. Acknowledgements should be made in a first note, marked with an asterisk (this note should be introduced immediately after the title’s last word ).
Section headings: All sections and subsections should have a heading. Section headings should be numbered as in the following:
1. Section title
1.1 Subsection title level 1
1.1.1 Subsection title level 2
Examples, tables, figures, etc.: Examples, tables and figures should be inserted in the text and numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals. Each table and figure should have a title, at its top (Times New Roman, 12 pt, single-spacing, left-aligned) according to the following examples.
TABLE 1 – Title of table
FIGURE 1 – Title of figure.
Captions must occur at the figure or table bottom: Times New Roman, 11 pt, single -spacing. In the full printed version and in the electronic copy, tables and figures must be included in their intended locations. On separate sheets and separate files (DOC/RTF and PDF), additional copies of tables and figures should be provided (1 figure or table per A4 page). These additional versions may fit camera- ready quality (clear black print, laser or high quality ink-jet printer). Their lettering should be large enough to be legible after reduction. Colour tables and figures can be accepted for final publication when justified.
Italicisation: Do not underline examples or emphasised terms; these should be italicised. Bold type or small capitals can also be used.
Examples: All examples included in paragraphs should be given in italics (except when representing phrase/sentence structure).
Numbering of examples: examples which are not included in the text of a paragraph should be numbered, with the number placed in parenthes es. Tabs (not spaces) should be used to align the examples. Sets of related items may be listed together, and numbered with lowercase letters, as in the example below:
(1) a. a slice of bread, a glass of water
b. a pile of books, a row of houses
(2) strawberry, raspberry, blueberry

Once a paper is reformulated on the basis of the referees’ suggestions and its final version is accepted, no substantial modifications will be allowed. Normally, all proofreading will be carried out by the Editorial Committee. Nonetheless, the Editor can ask the author to review a set of page proofs. No alterations other than of printer’s errors will be admitted at this stage.
