    • Author(s) - if there is more than one author, indicate the author who will be the contact person
    • E-mail address(es)
  • 25 March 2007 - Submission of your paper:
    • send your LaTeX file submission and a PDF version toclin17@ccl.kuleuven.be
    • please include all graphics, pictures and bibliography files
    • the best is to create a tar or zip-file which contains all files
  • 1 May 2007 - Notification of acceptance and reviewers' report
  • 1 June 2007 - Submission of final version - send a compressed archive containing all LaTeX source files and a final PDF file of your paper to clin17@ccl.kuleuven.be

The proceedings will be edited by Frank Van Eynde, Peter Dirix, Ineke Schuurman, and Vincent Vandeghinste. A reviewing committee will be formed after receiving the statements of intent.

Details about format and style files can be found below.


Format and style guidelines

Requirements

  • The contribution must be typeset in LaTeX2e, not in LaTeX2.09.
  • Make sure that the contribution compiles without errors, and preferably without warnings with maximal badness (10000).
  • Your contribution should have an abstract of approximately 10 lines.
  • Maximum length: 15 pages - everything included!

Style packages for LaTeX2e

You will need clin.sty and clin.bst in order to obtain the required page layout. Both packages originate from CLIN 2003, by Hendri Hondorp (University of Twente).

Furthermore, we suggest you use:

These packages are usually included in LaTeX2e. If you want to use additional packages, please let us know.

Additional Information

  • Contact addresses - you should not include the author's address in the article. Addresses will be included in a separate 'Contributors' section: attach this to your e-mail.
  • Sample code - this is what your .tex file should look like - see the sample .tex file and the sample bibliography file.
    \documentclass[a4paper,10pt,twoside]{article}

    Note that if you want to use the \begin{equation} ... \end{equation} environment, you will have to include fleqn in the \documentclass[...]{...} options! The top of your LaTeX file should then look like this:
    \documentclass[a4paper,10pt,twoside,fleqn]{article}

    \usepackage{clin}        % Stylefile for CLIN Proceedings
    \usepackage{harvard} % Bibliography Stylefile
    \usepackage{...,cgloss4e,avm,trees,tree-dvips,gb4e,ipa,graphicx}
    % Whatever other packages you need

    % Harvard:
    % \cite{Covington} (Covington 1994)
    % \citeasnoun{Covington} Covington (1994)
    % \citeyear{Covington} (1994)

    At the end:

    \bibliographystyle{clin}
    \bibliography{Yourfile}
    \end{document}
  • Bibliography - if you prefer not to use a bibfile, this is what your manually created bibliography should look like:

General Style Guidelines

  • Citations:

    • basic format:

      (Smith 1978)

    • when referring to page, section, etc. - do not use p. or pp.:

      (Piaget 1980, 74)
      (Pratt 1975, 121--25)
      (Johnson 1979, sec. 24.5)


    • when referring to both volume and page:

      (Barnes 1981, 3:125)
    • when referring only to a volume:

      (Garcia 1982, vol. 2)

    • do not use ampersand in your text:

      (Meredith & Lewis 1979) = wrong!
      (Meredith and Lewis 1979) = correct!

    • when there are three authors:

      (Wynken, Blynkin, and Nodd 1982)

    • when there are more than three authors:

      (Johnson et al. 1990)

    • several references given together:

      (Light 1972; Light and Wong 1987)

    • reference to several works by the same author:

      (Kelley 1896a, 1896b, 1907)

    • when all or part of the citation is incorporated in the sentence, it is not enclosed in parentheses:

      Jones and Carter (1980) report findings...

  • Dashes:

    • use the em-dash (---) in cases like the following - no spaces:

      Spell out names in the glosses---so, do not leave them out.
      One of the better films of the festival---and it is not as
      if we are Tarantino fans---certainly was...

    • use the en-dash (--) for numbers, dates, times etc.:

      groups of 10--50 people
      Saturday 13.00--15.00 pm.
      (Pratt 1975, 121--25)
