This is extremely important. Our typesetter will not accept single-spaced material, and any manuscript containing such material will be returned to the author.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">ALL material in a manuscript is to be in 12-point type. A Unicode font must be used for all phonetic symbols and non-Latin characters. Smaller type may not be used for abstracts, tables, footnotes, references, etc. It is too difficult for the typesetter to read.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Final versions of papers\u00a0must be submitted as a Unicode compliant text file, .doc or .rtf\u2014we cannot accept .pdf or LaTeX files for production.

Cited forms that appear in phonetic or phonemic transcription, enclosed in brackets or slashes, do not have to be italicized. Glosses appear in single quotation marks, both in the text and in interlinearized data.\u00a0<\/span>The first line of interlinearized data in inset examples is not italicized.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">Interlinearized examples MUST conform to <em>IJAL<\/em> style as described in the <a title=\"Interlinearized examples\" href=\"https:\/\/www.americanlinguistics.org\/?page_id=93\">stylesheet for linguistic examples<\/a>. All data used in the paper must be attributed to the original source. Address questions on acceptable citation of forms to the <a href=\"mailto:ijal@press.uchicago.edu\">editors<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"><em>IJAL<\/em> aims (<em>inter alia<\/em>) to be a reliable archive of data on American indigenous languages. Since those data may later be used for purposes unimagined by the author of the original manuscript, all linguistic forms must be cited in an orthography that records all significant phonetic contrasts. Although symbols may be used in any way deemed appropriate by the author, a footnote to the first cited form should explain any deviation from common Americanist or IPA usage, as well as the value of ambiguous letters such as c, j, q, x, or y. Be sure that all diacritics are clear and easy for the typesetter to interpret.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">Please remember when preparing linguistic material that the typesetter is not a linguist. Be sure the manuscript is legible and easy to follow. Complex linguistic material (e.g., tree diagrams) should be placed on separate sheets of paper, rather than included in the body of the text.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">Notes<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">Notes are double-spaced and placed together at the end of the manuscript. They should NEVER appear at the bottom of pages within the text. Please use a paragraph indent for each note. The footnote number is to be raised above the line, with no enclosures (such as parentheses or brackets).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">Number footnotes serially throughout the manuscript. The acknowledgement footnote (if any) is to be numbered; do not use an asterisk for this note.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">Footnote numbers in the text are placed, following punctuation marks (if any), raised above the line, with no enclosures (such as parentheses or brackets).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">Bibiliographic citations<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">When references are cited in text, the following conventions are to be used:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"paraEG\">Harvey (1964) calculates a period of cultural continuity 6,000 to 11,000 years long.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paraEG\">Pride (1963:11) says of Yaitepec Chatino: \u201cWord-final syllables are always stressed and\u00a0carry a heavy functional load.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paraEG\">Other publications about Chatino which the reader may want to consult are Boas (1913),\u00a0Price (1961, 1965), and Upson (1956, 1960, 1968).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paraEG\">It is true that when Franz Boas did his fieldwork on Pochutec in 1912, Pochutla was\u00a0surrounded by Zapotec towns (see Boas 1917:9\u201312; also Hasler 1975, 1976).<\/p>\n<p>Use lowercase letters &#8220;a&#8221;, &#8220;b&#8221;, &#8220;c&#8221;, etc. to distinguish several items published in the same year by the same author(s):<\/p>\n<p class=\"paraEG\">Campbell and Langacker (1978a, 1978b) and Newman (1979a:207, 1979b:299).<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">When a single citation contains references to multiple works by different authors, these should be listed in chronological order:<\/p>\n<p class=\"paraEG\">The final feature of Tn phonology that affects forms in the cognate sets is sound symbolism, a well-known and well-documented phenomenon in the family (Watters 1980:121, 1992;\u00a0Bishop 1984; Levy 1987:115\u201330; McQuown 1990:66; MacKay 1997:113\u201314; Smythe Kung 2006; McFarland 2006; Beck 2008).<\/p>\n<p>Citations to personal communications should include the first name of the individual being cited (e.g., &#8220;Thom Hess (p.c.)&#8221; rather than &#8220;Hess (p.c.)&#8221;). A shorter form of the name may be used than would be required in a reference list or bibliography.<\/p>\n<h3>References<\/h3>\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">A complete alphabetical list of all references cited in the text and notes should appear at the end of a manuscript. This list is headed REFERENCES and must be double-spaced (do not use\u00a0boldface).\u00a0Only references actually cited in the paper (in text, footnotes, tables, etc.) should be included in the list of references.<\/p>\n<p>All material in the references (except certain linguistic forms, etc.) appears in roman type. Do not italicize book titles, journal titles, etc. Please put the name(s) of the author(s) in CAPS and <small>SMALL CAPS<\/small>, and cite the full names of authors as given in the by-line of the original publication. Only the surname used to alphabetize the list of references\u2014that is, the surname of the first-author\u2014is presented before an author\u2019s first name; all other names, including the names of editors of volumes containing cited articles, are presented in the order first name \u2013 last name.<\/p>\n<p>If the reference is more than one line long, all following lines are to be indented.
