Dear all
Thanks again for attending the Critical Link conference. We hope you found it useful and enjoyable. The vast majority of the feedback we have received is very positive indeed.
As we already mentioned during the Closing session, we will prepare publications following on from the conference. The publisher John Benjamins has agreed to publish again a volume of selected papers, and we also expect that one or two special issues of journals will be possible. Some other papers may be more suitable for professional journals or for the website. We would like to invite all conference presenters to submit your paper for inclusion in the edited volume. Deadline for submission of papers (6000-7000 words) is 1 December 2010. As is usual, all papers will be peer reviewed by a Scientific Committee before a decision can be taken as to their inclusion in the edited volume, or whether it is felt more appropriate to publish the paper in a special issue of a journal.
I copy below some relevant information from John Benjamins' stylesheet. We would be very grateful if you would take this into consideration for writing your paper.
Follow the Chicago Manual of Style
Paper to be submitted in English. If you are not a native speaker of English, please have your text checked by a native speaker of English before submission.
Font: Times New Roman, 12 points, double line spacing
Emphasis and foreign words: Use italics for foreign words, highlighting, and emphasis. Bold should be used
only for highlighting within italics and for headings. Please refrain from the use of FULL CAPS (except for focal stress and abbreviations) and underlining (except for highlighting within examples, as an alternative for boldface).
Quotations: Text quotations in the main text should be given in double quotation marks. Quotations longer than 3 lines should have a blank line above and below and a left indent, without quotation marks, and with the appropriate reference to the source.
Notes should be kept to a minimum. Note indicators in the text should appear at the end of sentences and follow punctuation marks.
References
References in the text: These should be as precise as possible, giving page references where necessary; for example (Clahsen 1991: 252) or: as in Brown et al. (1991: 252). All references in the text should appear in the
references section.
References section:
References should be listed first alphabetically and then chronologically. The section should include all (and only!) references that are actually mentioned in the text.
