GUIDELINES FOR CONTRIBUTORS

FRANÇAIS

The Cahiers de Linguistique — Asie Orientale publishes original articles concerning the languages and linguistics of East and Southeast Asia. The topics may deal with synchronic or diachronic issues and are not subject to any restriction on the theoretical framework used.

Languages of publication: Articles are published in English, French, or Chinese. Contributions other than articles may also be published as ‘Notes and Documents’. This rubric includes thesis abstracts and research squibs on interesting and novel topics. Submission of book reviews is similarly welcomed.

STYLE SHEET FOR MANUSCRIPTS

Contributors should send the following two electronic files to the editors (cahierslao@gmail.com):

1) A pdf version of the body of the paper, in which the name of the author should not appear. Any information that can potentially identify the author in this first version, for example, acknowledgements, should be omitted. Please contact the editors if this procedure presents any problems.

2) A Word version which should include the following items:

• name(s) of the author(s)

• address

• e-mail address

• academic affiliation of the author

• full title of the paper

• an abstract and key words

• acknowledgements, if relevant, as well as

• total number of pages

Each article written in English should be accompanied by an abstract in the language of the paper, plus another in French and vice-versa for papers written in French. In contrast to this, abstracts in both English and French are required, if the paper is written in Chinese. The English and French abstracts should be approximately 5-8 lines in length and no more than 100 words. Chinese abstracts should similarly not exceed 5-8 lines in length, nor be more than 150 characters. Each abstract should be followed by three to six key words among which the linguistic subdiscipline as well as the language(s) covered in the article are obligatory.

The title should not exceed two lines and be translated into English, in the case of a French paper and into French in the case of an English paper, while it should be translated into both English and French in the case of a Chinese paper.

Footnotes are numbered serially throughout the manuscript. Their number should be kept to a minimum and they should not be used for listing references.

Drawings, tables and maps must be labelled (e.g. ‘Fig. 2’, ‘Table 1’) and be given a caption. All references to these in the text should be made by using this label.

Example sentences in the text should all be numbered serially (with Arabic numerals in parentheses). They should be accompanied by a word-for-word gloss as well as by an idiomatic translation. Authors are invited to consult the Leipzig Glossing Rules for a standard of reference (http://www.eva.mpg.de/lingua/resources/ glossing-rules.php). The word-for-word glosses should be neatly arranged under the original forms, and the idiomatic translation should be given on the following line, enclosed in single quotes. Tone marks should not be omitted when using pīnyīn and other phonetic transcriptions such as the International Phonetic Alphabet, the modified Church Romanization (Southern Min) or the Hong Kong Linguistics Society romanization for Cantonese, among others.
