6. Do not use line-end hyphens or right-justified margins.
7. Use the following order and numbering of pages:

1. page 0: title and subtitle; authors' names and affiliations; complete mailing address, email address, and telephone numbers of the first author. Abstract of about 100 words with asterisked acknowledgement
2. body of the work
3. references (please provide explicit references for all claims made and data cited in your manuscript, and provide full references for all of these at the end of the paper).
4. Please use footnotes, not endnotes.

8. Number all pages of the entire manuscript serially in the middle of the bottom of the page.

2. TYPEFACES AND UNDERSCORES

1. Use italics for all cited linguistic forms and examples in the text. Do not use italics to mark common loanwords or technical terms: ad hoc, façon de parler, ursprachlich, binyan, etc.
2. Do not use any special typefaces or type sizes in headings.

3. PUNCTUATION

1. Use single quotation marks, except for quotes within quotes. The second member of a pair of quotation marks should precede any other adjacent mark of punctuation, unless the other mark is part of the quoted matter: The word means `cart', not `horse'. He writes, `This is false.'
2. Do not enclose any cited linguistic examples in quotation marks. See ¶5.
3. Indent long quotations (more than about 40 words) without quotation marks.
4. Do not hyphenate words containing prefixes unless a misreading will result; hyphenate if the stem begins with a capital letter: non-Dravidian, Proto-Athabaskan.

1. Enclose transcriptions either within (phonetic) square brackets or within (phonemic) slashes: the suffix [q], the word /rek/. Do not italicize bracketed transcriptions.
2. Use angled brackets for specific reference to graphemes: the letter < q >.
3. Transliterate or transcribe all forms in any language not normally written with the Latin alphabet, including Greek and Armenian. (You may accompany these transcriptions with the original script if you like.) Please use the International Phonetic Alphabet for your transcriptions if possible.
4. After the first occurrence of non-English forms, provide a gloss in single quotation marks: Latin ovis `sheep' is a noun. No comma precedes the gloss and no comma follows, unless necessary for other reasons: Latin ovis `sheep', canis `dog', and equus `horse' are nouns. See ¶7 for other instructions on glosses.

6. NUMBERED EXAMPLES, RULES, AND FORMULAS

a. Type each numbered item on a separate indented line with the number in parentheses; indent after the number; use lowercase letters to group sets of related items:

(26) La nouvelle constitution approuvéé (par le congrès), le président renforça ses pouvoirs.
`The new constitution approved (by congress), the president consolidated his power'.
