Presentation
Ensure that the first page consists only of:
Title of paper
The names of authors as they are to appear in AJL
Institutional affiliation of authors
Email addresses of all authors
Full postal address of one consulting author

Names of authors should not appear in headers, footers, nor anywhere else in the text other than in
works cited and the references section.

 

Ensure that the second page consists of:
Title of paper (again)
Abstract
Key Words
Beginning of the article

References should be indicated in the typescript by giving the author's name, with the year of
publication. If several papers by the same author and from the same year are cited, a,b,c, etc. should be
put after the year of publication. The references should be listed in full at the end of the paper in the
following form:

For books:
Turner GW 1966 The English Language in Australia and New Zealand London: Longmans.
For journal articles:
Bauer L 1986 ‘Notes on New Zealand English phonetics and phonology' English World-Wide 7: 225–258.

For book sections:
Capell A 1970 ‘Stress and intonation' in HHJ Coates and L Oates (eds) A Grammar of Ngarinijin,
Western Australia Canberra: Australian Institute of Aboriginal Studies. Pp. 7–19.
Footnotes: Notes should be marked clearly in the text at a point of punctuation, and listed
consecutively at the end of the article, they should be numbered consecutively throughout the text, and
indicated by superscripts in the text. Avoid over-numbering references: if one source is being cited for
several references within a paragraph, number this only once at the end of the paragraph. The use of
notes in general should be kept to a minimum.

Tables and Figures:

Diagrams and figures should be suitable for photographic reproduction. The
author should take care to indicate clearly in the text where diagrams and tables are to appear.

House-style:

The z-suffix is used, for example, civilize, civilization rather than civilise, civilisation. Dates
should be written as follows: 5 August 1966. British rather than American spelling should be used.
Numbers from one to nine should be written out in full: figures should be used for numbers above 10.
