Normas de Estilo de la Publicación

Style sheet for PRAGMATICS: Quarterly Publication of the International Pragmatics Association

Authors should send three copies of their paper to the IPrA Secretariat (P.O. Box 33--Antwerp 11, B-2018 Antwerp, Belgium).
PRAGMATICS is a peer-reviewed journal. Please allow for two to four months for full processing.
Once their manuscript has been accepted for publication, authors should provide a camera-ready copy of the final version or a hard copy accompanied by a disk (preferably PC compatible, in WordPerfect, Word or ASCII files), plus a brief bio-blurb with information about their prior work and current research interests.
In preparing the manuscript for publication, follow the conventions below as closely as possible.
Offprints are not provided.

1. Disk versions should contain plain text; avoid all sophisticated and personalized text processing!

2. If a disk version cannot be provided, camera-ready copy should be typed or printed on a letter-quality printer, in exactly the following format:
use a large type size (pitch 10 or point size 12)
use single spacing
do not number the pages
the main body of the text (not the title!) should start on the first page at 4.5" or 12 cm from the top
the top margin (on all pages except for the first page) should be 1.4" or 4 cm
left and right margind depend on the type of paper size you use:
- when you use A4 size paper: 1.2" or 3 cm
- when you use American standard size paper: 1.25" or 3.2 cm
also the bottom margin varies according to the paper size:
- when you use A4 size paper: 1" or 2.5 cm
- when you use American standard size paper: 0.5" or 1.25 cm.
the right margin should be fully justified
all sections and subsections in the text should be numbered with Arabic numerals (1. / 1.1. / 1.1.1.; preferably no distinctions beyond three digits); different font types should be used for section titles at the different levels:
1. Bold roman
1.1. Number in bold roman but title in bold italic
1.1.1. Number in roman but title in italic
section titles should be preceded by two blank lines and followed by one blank line
do not use extra white space between paragraphs; rather, indent all paragraphs except for the first one of each new section
drawings, tables, figures should be integrated in the text
quotations should be given between double quotation marks; longer quotes should be indented and set apart from the main body of the text by leaving one blank line before and after; they may also be printed in a smaller font size (point 10)
3. Words or phrases in languages other than the language of the article (usually, but not necessarily always English) should be underlined or (preferably) in italics and accompanied by a translation between single quotes. E.g., omukazi ¿woman.¿

4. Examples should be numbered with Arabic numerals between parentheses and set apart from the main body of the text by leaving spaces before and after. They may or may not be indented. For long examples a smaller font size (point 10) may be used. Examples from languages other than the language of the article should be underlined or (preferably) in italics, and they should be accompanied by a translation between single quotes and, if necessary, by a word-by-word gloss as well. E.g.:
(6) Non lo so
¿I don't know¿
(7) !ou ke fa!amaalie atu
I TNS make-agree DX
¿I apologize (to you)¿
Any abbreviations in the glosses should be listed and explained in a note or appendix. (E.g: TNS = tense/aspect marker; DX = deictic particle.) Excerpts from transcripts of conversations should also be numbered, as well as individual lines ) if necessary. Explain transcription conventions (in a note or appendix) or refer to a well-known and authoritative source. E.g.:
(9) ("People scare me" ) Staron 1976)
1 A: Have you ever had any other experiences lately that made you more afraid?
2 F: um (.2) well ) nothing like stuff like that, but jus' like my litt sister would hide
3 ¿n scare me
5. References should directly follow the text (do not start a new page!), entitled References (left justified), and printed in a smaller font size (point 10). Alphabetize by author's last name, adding postscripted a, b, etc. to the date of publication for two or more publications by the same author in the same year; e.g.: Gumperz (1982a), Gumperz (1982b). Titles of articles and books should only have the first word capitalized (and words for which the spelling rules of the language in question require capitalization), all other words in lower case. Titles of books and journals should be underlined or (preferably) italicized. E.g.:
Grice, H. Paul (1975) Logic and conversation. In P.Cole & J.L. Morgan (eds.), Syntax and semantics, vol 3: Speech acts. New York: Academic Press, 41-58.
Labov, William (1972a) Language in the inner city: Studies in the Black Vernacular. Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press.
Labov, William (1972b) Sociolinguistic patterns. Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press.
Sacks, H., Schegloff, E.A., Jefferson, G. (1974) A simplest systematics for the organization of turn taking in conversation. Language 50: 697-735.
6. Notes can be either footnotes or endnotes following the main text and before the references. Reference to notes in the text should be given with a superscripted Arabic numeral.
