      • If your initial manuscript is typeset in LaTeX:  20 pages

Final Submission of Accepted Manuscripts:

If your manuscript is accepted for inclusion in the selected proceedings of LSLR50, it must be typeset in LaTeX. A general template for typesetting papers in edited volumes in Language Science Press is available on Overleaf.

We will post the recording of the LSRL LaTeX tutorial from LSRL50 with specifics on typesetting syntax and phonetics soon.

LaTeX documents:

• The Generic Style Rules for Linguistics (on the LSP page under “Template and tools”)
• The LSP style sheet
• Leipzig Glossing Rules

Some additional style rules:

• Use single quotation marks only for translations or for specifying the semantic content of object-language material
• Use italics for object-language material, small caps for linguistic categories
• The “hierarchy” is italics > bold > underscored (i.e. use italics before bold and so on)
• In English, use sentence case, i.e. avoid capitalization except for very established terms like “Mimimalist Program”
• Avoid academic “we”
• Use “p < 0.05” rather than “p < .05”
