2. References:
References should be given parenthetically in the text, and not in footnotes, using the author-date system (Name: page number).
When using source information in the context of your paper, a combination of signal phrases and parenthetical references should be used. If you use a signal phrase (introducing the source information with a phrase that includes the author's name) a parenthetical reference after the information should include the page number. If you do not use a signal phrase with the author's name, the parenthetical reference includes the author's last name and the page number.
Examples:
1) Signal phrase: In his essay ‘The Local and the Global: Globalization and Ethnicity', Stuart Hall (33) inquired whether ‘globalization [was] nothing but the triumph and closure of history by the West'.
Note that there is a colon between the author's name and the page number.
The above in-text citations refer the reader to the following entries on the list of references:
1) Hall, Stuart. ‘The Local and the Global: Globalization and Ethnicity.' Culture, Globalization and the World System. Ed. Anthony D. King. London, Basingstoke and Binghampton: Macmillan. 19-39, 1991.
2) Mennell, Stephen. All Manners of Food. Eating and Taste in England and France from the Middle Ages to the Present. Urbana and Chicago: University of Illinois Press, 1996.
If you are citing several works by different authors, please use a semicolon to separate the references:
The languages pairs involved include among others German-American, German-British English and German-Irish English (Ebeling, 1994; Möhl, 1996; Barron 2003; Tobaben 2006).
If you are citing several works by the same author, please use a semicolon to separate the references.
The analyses of the written data follow essentially the model presented in House (1981; 1997).
If you are citing several works by the same author with the same publication year, please use lowercase letters (eg. Fludernik, 2001a; 2001b; etc.):
If you make subsequent citations from the same source, please use ibid.
