Guidelines for submission to LANGUE
What to submit:
A single Word file. The file should contain a camera-ready article of a maximum of 25 pages in 12-point Times New
Roman font, with 1.5 spacing throughout, and justified. The 25 pages should include an abstract, references and any
appendices. Tables and figures, where used, should be included in the camera-ready copy at the point in the text where
they are relevant. Over-length articles, or articles that are not formatted appropriately, may be rejected.
Where to submit:
Send your file as an email attachment to: langue@essex.ac.uk. All submissions received will be acknowledged by email.
Formatting
Articles should be formatted according to the following guidelines. DO NOT USE hyperlinks, automatic numbering
(except for footnotes), or automatic section numbering.
Footnotes: Automatic footnotes should be justified when used, but please use them sparingly. Do not use endnotes.
Margins: 2.5 top & bottom / 3.0 left & right
Page Numbers: Page number should be inserted at the bottom of the page in the centre (this is only to assist the
reviewers).
Title and Abstract: Title should be justified, in bold and in single line spacing, this is followed by two single blank
lines, and the heading of Abstract in bold, followed by one single blank line, after which the main text of the Abstract
begins here, which is in single spacing. So, the paper should start as Example (1), below.

This paper presents a computational grammar of a fragment of Modern Greek, following
the principles of the Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG) Parallel Grammar (ParGram)

Headings: Please indicate the level of the headings by numbering them using the system illustrated:
1
1.1
1.2
1.2.1
1.2.2.
2
2.1 etc.
After the number, 2 spaces are required before the heading starts (e.g. 1 Introduction).
Main Text: (Heading is in bold and in 1.5 spacing). Between paragraphs, one blank line in 1.5 spacing is required. Do
not indent main text at the beginning of each paragraph. Two SINGLE blank lines are required at the end of each section
or sub-section.
References in Main Text: References should be made as follows:
(a) McNamara (1996)
(b) If a page number is referred to, (McNamara, 1996: 72)
(c) If more than one reference is necessary, (McNamara, 1996; Brown, 2003)
References: References should be in single spacing, using hanging style with an indent of 1.27. There should be NO
blank lines between each reference. Use the system illustrated below:
