Typographical conventions

Quotation marks are reserved for direct quotations.
For articles written in Romance languages, low quotation marks will be the norm ("...") and high quotation marks will be used as secondary for quotations within quotations ("..."). For papers written in English, high quotation marks are the general norm.
Meanings of words are indicated by single quotation marks (').
A distinction will be made between an em dash and an en dash according to normative usage.
Italics are used for words or phrases that are the subject of study within the article or that are used in a terminological sense.
Italics are also used for words or phrases that are foreign to the language of the article.
Latin etymologies are written in small capitals.
All Roman numerals are written in small capitals.

Punctuation

Parenthetical hyphens framing subparagraphs are em dashes.
Other hyphens used in prefixes or suffixes are short.
Where pairs of opposites or equivalences are used, there is no space between the bar and the terms in question: trial/sentence.
When the signs + or → are used, a space is inserted between the terms that add up or refer to each other (haber de + infinitive, 13th century → Middle Ages).

Abbreviations

Abbreviations for titles of works are given in italics (DRAE, DCVB, TMILG).
Latin abbreviations are given in italics and lower case (vid., ibíd., et al., c., cfr.).
For Spanish, the following abbreviations are used; for other languages, their equivalents are used:

• Artículo citado = art. cit.
• Autores Varios o Varios Autores = AA. VV. // VV. AA.
• Capítulo(s) = cap. caps.
• circa = ca.
• Columna(s) = col. cols.
• Compárese = comp.
• Confróntese = cfr.
• Edición(es) = ed. eds.
• Editorial = edit.
• en la obra = apud
• et alii = et al.
• Fascículo(s) = fasc. fascs.
• Folio(s) = fol. fols.
• Ibídem = ibíd.
• Ídem = id.
• Loco citato = loc. cit.
• Manuscrito(s) = ms. mss.
• Número(s) = n. nn.
• Opus citatum u obra citada = op. cit.
• Página(s) = p. pp.
• Por ejemplo = p. e. / p. ej.
• Siguiente(s) = sig. sigs.
• Tomo(s) = t. ts.
• Traducción = trad.
• Véase = V. Vid.
• Volumen(es) = vol. vols.

In Spanish texts, if the abbreviation contains a raised letter, the dot is placed in front of it: D.ª, M.ª.

Quotes

Short quotes

If the quote is three lines or less, it is placed within the text (with the same body and font), between lower quotation marks (" "), with the reference to the author after the quotation marks.
Smart double quotes (" ") are used to indicate citations within citations.

Long quotes

If quotes are longer than three lines, they should be placed in a separate paragraph (with a blank line before the quote and another blank line after the quote), without quotes, indented every 1 cm on the left, in Calibri 11 p font, single-spaced, and with the reference at the end of the quote before the punctuation mark.
Text deletions in a citation must be indicated by three periods between square brackets [...]. Omissions at the beginning or end of the text need not be indicated by brackets or ellipses.
A full stop is not placed at the end of the quote, but after the reference to the work.
Quotations in Romance languages or English do not need to be translated.

Quotes in footnotes

If the citations are in a footnote, they are treated as if they were a short citation in the text.

Footnotes

All footnotes will be placed at the bottom of the page and numbered in sequential Arabic numerals.
Notes should be single-spaced, right-justified and left-indent (0.3cm).
The body of the text must be in 10 point Calibri.
There will be no separation by paragraph marks or double spaces between different notes.
The use of notes to indicate bibliographical references should be avoided, as these will appear in the body of the text, as indicated below.

Examples:

¹ Con anterioridad hemos estudiado las explicaciones de las voces que Vandelvira entendía propias de canteros. Véase Herráez Cubino (en prensa).

² Los datos que se exponen a continuación proceden de la informatización de la información referida a los lemas Diccionario (no se han tenido en cuenta las palabras contenidas en los apartados de derivados y compuestos).

References to notes in the text

References to notes in the text must be indicated by superscript numbers and must always appear before a punctuation mark (example: «lingüística¹. Los diccionarios... »).

Examples

The examples use Calibri 11p font size with 1cm left and right spacing.
Words that need to be highlighted will be in italics.
Examples will be numbered in brackets with Arabic numerals: (1), (2), (3), etc. and numbered consecutively throughout the article, i.e. numbering will not start again at the beginning of each section. If necessary, several examples may be grouped under the same number using letters:

(2)  a. Example
       b. Example
       c. Example

Very long examples should be placed in a separate paragraph (with a blank line before and after), indented 1 cm, in Calibri 11p single-spaced font.

Lists

They must follow the formatting of the examples, but with the text in 12 pt.
Numbers, letters or long dashes may be used, but NO bullets.

Figures, graphics and tables

Graphs, figures and tables should be centred.
If necessary, they will be accompanied by a caption describing the content of the figure or image, preceded by the text "Figure", "Table" or "Graphic" and the corresponding figure or graphic number.
This footer must be in Calibri 10 pt, centred in relation to the accompanying image or graphic, with paragraph setting: Spacing, Previous 6 points.
A blank line is left before and after the image or graphic to separate it from the text.

Example:

Annexes or appendices

If the paper includes any appendices, they should be placed after the bibliography and should always start on a new page.

In-text citations

Citations must appear in the text between parentheses if the author's name is not part of the discussion. They should be cited using the following system: author(s), year of publication, and page(s) if applicable. There is no comma between the author and the year. If the author's name is part of the discussion, only the year and, if applicable, the pages should be given in parentheses. If there are several references to be placed between parentheses, they should be separated by semicolons and listed in chronological order from the oldest to the most recent.
If the quotation comprises several pages, the first and last page numbers are given, separated by a hyphen: (Corpas Pastor 1997: 53-65).
The page number is not included if the citation refers to the entire work, for example: (Clavería 2004).
If the reference appears at the end of a period, the punctuation mark is placed after the quotation.
If the reference is to a note, the number of the note is placed after the page number: (Tovar 1987: 43, n. 3).
If there is more than one reference to the same author and year, a letter (i.e. a, b, c, etc.) is placed after the year. These references are listed alphabetically by title, e.g. Varela (1990a); Varela (1990b). If they are cited in the same passage, the name of the author or the year is not repeated: Varela (1990a and b).
When citing a bibliographical reference that has not yet been published, 'in press' must be placed after the author's surname, between brackets. For example, Company (in press).
The web pages should be cited in full and the hyperlink should be retained.
References to entries in the lexicographical repertoire are given as follows (Alemany, 1917: s.v. filología). In the case of dictionaries without an author, the initials of the work are given (DRAE 2001: s.v. casa).

Examples:

• En este aspecto, el DECH se halla en la misma línea que los tratados de formación de palabras y gramáticas históricas tradicionales como los de Hanssen (1913), Alemany Bolufer (1920), entre otros.
• Cotarelo Mori (1914: 111-114) ha recogido los datos bibliográficos que, en los primeros años de redacción del Diccionario, hicieron llegar algunos académicos a la Secretaría de la Corporación.
• Así, los compuestos sintagmáticos son el tipo de compuestos que más se aproximan a la sintaxis. (Selkirk 1982: 34; Varela 1990: 45).

Bibliographical references

The list of references is placed in an unnumbered REFERENCES section, with the title in small capitals and without indentation.
A distinction may be made between references and sources. In this case, the two subtitles are placed under the title BIBLIOGRAPHY (without numbering, in small capitals and without indentation). The subtitles of the two sections must be in normal font, bold, Calibri 12 p.
References must appear at the end of the article in Calibri 11 p., single-spaced, with 1 cm French indentation. Paragraph -> Lines and page breaks -> Keep lines together.
The list of references will include only the works cited in the work.
The order of the works cited is alphabetical by author.
If the same author is cited more than once, the name will appear again and the different entries will be listed in chronological order.
If an author has references as sole author and as collaborator, all the texts of which he is the sole author are listed first, then those of which he is a collaborator, both in chronological order.
If the same author publishes two or more works in the same year, a lower-case letter (a, b, c, etc.) will appear after the year, without a space between them: ÁLVAREZ DE MIRANDA, Pedro (2002a).
The authors' first names must be given in full and not reduced to initials.

Books

Surname, Name (year): Title, volume. City: Publisher, edition (Series, number).

1. Surnames are given in small capitals, but the first letter is always capitalised. The surname is followed by the full name of the author (if known) in regular type, separated by a comma. If necessary - for example, according to Spanish naming conventions - two surnames appear (Sánchez Lancis, Martínez Alcalde, etc.).
   If the first surname contains the preposition de (e.g. Carlota de Benito Moreno), the preposition is placed after the first name and is not taken into account in the alphabetical order: BENITO MORENO, Carlota de. This rule applies to all types of publication.
   If there is more than one author, the first one appears in the order SURNAME, Name, but the following ones must appear in the order Name SURNAME. The name is always in regular type and the surname in small capitals. Between the penultimate and the last author, the copulative coordinate conjunction must be used (Sp. "y", Cat. "i", Gal. "e", Port. "e", Fr. "et", Ital. "e", Engl. "and"). The same procedure is used if there are only two authors.
   If necessary, after the name of the editor or publisher, add "(ed.)" or "(eds.)" before the date. The first and last names of the editor are given in this order and in normal type.
2. The year of publication is given in brackets, followed by a letter if several works by the same author and year are cited. Optionally, the year of the original may be given in square brackets after the year of the edition consulted: CORREAS, Gonzalo (1954 [1625]): Arte de la lengua española castellana. CSIC: Madrid.
3. Full title of the work in italics. The year and title are separated by a colon. If the title of the work is in English, the initials of all the words making up the title (except for prepositions and conjunctions) must be capitalised. The same procedure is followed for the titles of articles and book chapters.
4. The title is followed by the abbreviated volume (if necessary): "Vol.
5. The name of the city of publication should be preceded by a full stop, then the name of the publisher should appear preceded by a colon.
