Corpus Linguistics 2003: Style Sheet

1. All papers are to be sumitted as IBM-PC Windows-compatible wordprocessor files. They should be in the region of 8-10 (A4) pages long (including references and appendices). The conference proceedings will be produced using Word for Windows. If in doubt about compatibility, send your paper as RTF. Word for the Mac, and plain text formats are also acceptable. Other formats - especially (La)TeX files - will NOT be accepted. You may send your paper by e-mail to cl2003@comp.lancs.ac.uk or on a 3.5" floppy disk.
2. The A4 pages should be set in single column format with 1 inch (2.54 cm) margins top and bottom, and 1.25 inch (3.17 cm) margins on the left and right.
3. Font: Use Times New Roman. Main text should be in 10 point type and single-line-spaced.
4. Title, authors and affiliations: Use 12 point type and mixed case. In the title, only capitalize the first word and any proper names.
5. Longer quotations: Use 8 point type and indent by one tab either side. Always give: author's name, year, and page number.
6. Footnotes: must be at the bottom of the page (not at the end of the article) and numbered sequentially.
7. Sections of the article must be numbered sequentially starting with 1. In section titles, only capitalize the first word and any proper names.
8. Include page numbers centered in the page footer (in 10 point type).
9. Use bold for titles of articles and section headings only. Italics can be used in text for highlighting essential information.
10. Tables and diagrams must be numbered sequentially.
11. Citations should appear as (McEnery and Wilson 1996) instead of numbered references.
