andres.enrique@uib.es
ORCID-iD: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9524-7652

If there is more than one author, the name of the institution will go on the same line as the author in parentheses, the email address just below each name and institution, and the ORCID identification number on the bottom line.

Between the different names there will be a blank line.

5. Abstract, Keywords

After the title, institution and ORCID, two blank lines should be left before the abstract:

• Abstract 10 p. small caps bold

IMPORTANT: When choosing keywords, authors should consider those already used in the journal (https://scriptum.uab.cat/scriptum/keywords) and create new ones only if necessary.

6. English translation of the title

If the article is written in a language other than English, an English translation of the title must be provided. The English translation will be placed below the keywords in the other language, leaving a blank space.
The translated title will be in bold, 12 pt. size and centred.
Then, leaving a blank line, add the title ABSTRACT (bold, small capitals, 10p., flush left) and immediately below the text of the abstract translated into English in 10p. normal font, flush left.
The line immediately below will contain the title KEYWORDS (bold, small capitals, 10 p., left-aligned) followed by a colon and the keywords in English (normal font, 10 p., left-aligned).

7. Headings within the text

The first section is numbered 1. There are no unnumbered sections or sections numbered 0.
Titles are not indented or tabulated.
There must be 2 blank lines before each first level title. Insert one blank line after each first level heading.
Insert only one blank line before each successive level title. If there is more than one successive title, only the appropriate space should be left before the first.

Titles in small capitals should also begin with a capital letter.
The following hierarchy and formats should be used in titles:

(two blank lines)
1. SMALL CAPITALS, BOLD, NOT ITALIC, FIRST INITIAL CAPITALISED 12 P
(one blank line)
1.1. Lower case bold, not italic 12 p
2.1.1. Lower case, not bold, not italic 12 p
2.1.1.1. Lower case italic, not bold 12 p

All further levels of subdivision use the latter type.

8. 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.

9. 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).

10. 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.

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

11. Quotes

11.1. 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.

esta función se ha ampliado desde el desarrollo de la Web a la «búsqueda expandida o la asistencia en la indización automática» (Martínez Tamayo y Mendez 2015: 68).

Smart double quotes (" ") are used to indicate citations within citations.

11.2. 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.

11.3. Quotes in footnotes

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

12. 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).

12.1. 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... »).

13. 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

Examples that are rather long should be placed in a separate paragraph (with a blank line before and another one after), indented at 1cm, with font Calibri 11p. single spacing.

14. 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.

15. 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.

16. Bibliography

16.1. Bibliographic references within the text

References to the bibliography must appear in the text between parentheses if the author's name is not part of the discussion. They should be cited following the following system: author(s), year of publication and, if applicable, the page(s). There will be 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 will be placed in parentheses. If there are several references that must appear between parentheses, they will be separated by semicolons and they will be ordered chronologically from the oldest to the most recent.

If the citation comprises several pages, the initial and final page numbers will be given, separated by a hyphen: (Corpas Pastor 1997: 53-65).

The page number is not included if the reference is to the entire work, for example: (Clavería 2004).

When references appear at the end of a period, the punctuation mark will be placed after the reference.

When the reference refers to a note, its number is placed after the page: (Tovar 1987: 43, n. 3).

If there is more than one reference by the same author and year, a letter (i.e. a, b, c, etc.) will be placed after the year. These references will be arranged in alphabetical order after the title; for example, 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).

If a bibliographical reference not yet published is cited, “in press” must be placed next to the author's last name, between parentheses. For example, Company (in press).

The web pages will be quoted without angles and maintaining the hyperlink.

References to entries in lexicographical repertoires will be indicated as follows: (Alemany, 1917: s.v. filología). If it is a dictionary without an author, the initials of the work will be included (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).

16.2. List of references

The list of references will be placed in an unnumbered References section, with the title in small capitals and without indentation.

A distinction can be made between References and Sources. In this case, the two subtitles will go 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. The Sources will be put first and then the References.

The references must appear at the end of the article and must be in Calibri 11 p., single spacing and 1 cm French indentation. Paragraph -> Lines and page breaks -> Keep lines together.

The list of references will include only the works that have been cited in the work.

The order of the works cited will be alphabetical by author.

If the same author is repeated, the name will appear again and the different entries will be listed in chronological order.

If an author has references as a sole author and in collaboration, all the texts of which he or she is the sole author will be listed first, and then those that are in collaboration, both in chronological order.

In the event that the same author publishes two or more works in the same year, a lowercase letter (a, b, c, etc.) will be included after said year and without any space between them: Álvarez de Miranda, Pedro (2002a).

The first names of the authors must appear in full, not reduced to the initial.

16.3. References

16.3.1. Books

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

1. Surnames are set in small capitals but the first letter is always capitalized. After the last name, separated by a comma, the full name of the author (if known) in regular font. When necessary —for instance, as per Spanish naming conventions— two last names will appear (Sánchez Lancis, Martínez Alcalde, etc.).
   If the first surname includes the preposition de (e.g. Carlota de Benito Moreno) the preposition will be placed after the first name, and it will not count for the alphabetical order: Benito Moreno, Carlota de. This norm applies to all types of publications.
   When 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 author and the last, the copulative coordinate conjunction must be placed (Sp. “y”, Cat. “i”, Gal. “e”, Port. “e”, Fr. “et”, Ital. “e”, Engl. “and”). The same procedure is followed if there are only two authors.
   When necessary, after the name of the editors or the publisher, add "(ed.)" or "(eds.)" before the date. The editor's first and last name go in this order and in normal typescript.
   
   
2. The year of publication appears between parentheses, and followed by a letter in the event that several works by the same author and year are cited. Optionally, the year of the original may be specified between square brackets after the year of the consulted edition: Correas, Gonzalo (1954 [1625]): Arte de la lengua española castellana. CSIC: Madrid.
   
   
3. Full title of the work in italics. The year and the title are separated by a colon. If the title of the work is in English, the initials of all the words that compose it (except prepositions and conjunctions) must be in capital letters. This procedure will also be followed for the titles of articles and book chapters.
   
   
4. After the title, the abbreviated volume will appear (if necessary): “vol.”.
   
   
5. The name of the city of publication will be preceded by a stop; then the name of the publisher should appear preceded by a colon.
