Thank you for choosing ELAD-SILDA to submit your article. Your article can be written in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Russian, Spanish or Ukrainian. Depending on the language chosen, the usual typographical conventions should be followed in the body of the text - for the bibliography, on the other hand, we ask you to apply the standards of the international unified style sheet for linguistics journal (see below).

The journal accepts contributions using gender-neutral conventions, as well as the generic feminine. Each article is expected to consistently apply one single typographic standard for inclusive writing.

Each submission must include:

• the title in the language of the article and its translations in French and English (please contact the Editor-in-Chief if translating the abstract into French is a problem for you);

• the signature of each author: first name last name, primary affiliation, name of the research unit, e-mail address.

• the abstract (between 200 and 350 words) in the language of the article and its translation into French and English (please contact the Editor-in-Chief if translating the abstract into French is a problem for you);

• 6 to 7 key words in the language of the article and their translations in French and English;

• a section for “Bibliographical references”;

• illustrations in the form of separate files (must be in jpg or png format, 300 dpi and at least 1400 pixels). If you use illustrations of which you are not the author, you are required to obtain permission for reproduction. All illustrations are captioned and numbered.

Structure of your article

Headings should be as short as possible.

The title, introduction and conclusion should not be numbered.

Section titles must be organized as follows:
1. Level 1
1.1 Level 2
1.2 Level 2
2. Level 1
2.1. Level 2

Typesetting

Fonts

Please use the font Times New Roman, size 12, single-spaced, for the main text, the examples, the quotes and the headings.

Avoid bold types unless absolutely necessary. Italics are used to indicate a word in a foreign language (including Latin and Greek), both in the body of the text and in the bibliography, or to emphasize a particular word or phrase.

Do not break lines between paragraphs.

The main text must be justified.

Spelling

Both American and British English forms are acceptable, but spelling and punctuation must be consistent throughout.

Please note that in British English the “-ize” ending should be used in preference to “-ise” where both spellings are in use (e.g., “criticize”, “recognize”).

Quotes

Please use double quote marks (“...”); single quote marks (‘...’) are reserved for second-order quotes. Always use rounded marks, and not straight marks ("…").

Longer quotations (more than 4 lines) are isolated in a new paragraph and should be indented by 1 cm to the left and right, as in the example below:

K. Allan & K. Burridge (1991: 11) define the term “euphemism” as follows:

A euphemism is used as an alternative to a dispreferred expression, in order to avoid possible loss of face: either one’s own face or, through giving offence, that of the audience, or some third party.

References

In the main text

References should be given in the body of the text.

If the name of the author name is used in the main text, the other information of the reference (date of publication: page) is included in brackets after the author's name:

• L. Bauer (1978 : 4-5) claims that “blablabla”.

• According to K. Allan & K. Burridge (1991 : 7), euphemisms and dysphemisms are “obverse sides of the same coin”.

In any other case, the name of the author is inserted within the brackets:

• Single author: (Bauer, 1978 : 4-5) ou encore (Fraser, 1999 : 12-27 ; 2010) ;

• Two authors: (Allan & Burridge, 1991 : 7) ;

• More than two authors: (Bauer et al., 1978).

If the name of the author is in the main text, use a non-breaking space between the initial of the first name, followed by the period and the last name of the author quoted. On a Windows keyboard, to make a non-breaking space, press "ctrl" + "shift" at the same time, then press the space bar.

Please include page numbers without spaces: 35-48 (not 35 - 48) and include page numbers in their entirety: 135-176 (not 135-76).

Bibliography

The list of references at the end of your article should comply with the unified style sheet for linguistics journals, which can be uploaded from the website of the Linguistic Society of America : https://www.linguisticsociety.org/resource/unified-style-sheet

Examples

Numbered lists and bulleted lists should be avoided. Please number your examples manually without resorting to the numbering tool, as follows:
(1) blablabla

Examples in a language other than the language in which the article is written should conclude with the indication of language. Examples should be in italics, their translations in Roman type between quotation marks, aligned with the original in a table. Use no tabbing, no spacing:

(2)	Bien entendu , le procès-verbal de la réunion de demain tiendra compte de toutes les explications complémentaires.	(French)
	“Of course, the Minutes for tomorrow' s sitting will take into account any additional explanations.” (Europarl spoken parallel, 4573)

Because examples are in italics, you must use Roman type to highlight any segment of the example.

Please use tables for the alignment of glosses (no tabs, no spacing):

(3)	Er	kämpfte	sich	durch	das	Dickicht.	(German)
	he	fight.pt.3sg	refl	through	det.acc	thicket
	« He fought his way through the thicket » (Glavinic, Thomas: Die Arbeit der Nacht, München & Wien: Carl Hanser Verlag, p. 273 – quoted from Willich 2022:3)

The source should be indicated in brackets after the translation. Second-hand examples must be sourced twice, as in example (3) above.

We recommend following the guidelines of the Leipzig Glossing Rules. You may wish to coin new abbreviations for glosses. In this case, please add a list of abbreviation at the end of your article, immediately before the bibliographical references.

Footnotes

Footnotes should only be used to give additional references, not to give the bibliographic references of the main text. Please use the same font in the main text and in the footnotes (Times New Roman 12, single-spaced).
