Internet Pragmatics
General
Articles should be in English. English spelling and style should be consistently either British or American throughout. If you are not a highly proficient user of English, you should have the paper checked by an English language professional.
Contributions, maximally 10,000 words in length (including references, an abstract of 100-150 words, 5-8 keywords and a 70-word bio), should be submitted as email attachments in Word to:
internetpragmatics@foxmail.com
Lay-out
References
It is essential that the references are formatted to the specifications given in these guidelines, as these cannot be formatted automatically. This journal uses the ‘Author-Date’ style as described in the latest edition of The Chicago Manual of Style.
References in the text: These should be as precise as possible, giving page references where necessary; for example (Görlach 2003: 152-154) or: as in Brown et al. (1991: 252). All references in the text should be matched by items in the references section.
References section: References should be listed first alphabetically and then chronologically. The section should include all (and only!) references that are actually mentioned in the text.
A note on capitalization in titles. For titles in English, CMS uses headline-style capitalization. In titles and subtitles, capitalize the first and last words, and all other major words (nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, some conjunctions). Do not capitalize: articles; prepositions (unless used adverbially or adjectivally, or as part of a Latin expression used adverbially or adjectivally); the conjunctions and, but, for, or, nor; to as part of an infinitive; as in any grammatical function; parts of proper names that would be lower case in normal text; the second part of a species name. For more details and examples, consult the Chicago Manual of Style. For any other languages, and English translations of titles given in square brackets, CMS uses sentence-style capitalization: capitalization as in normal prose, i.e., the first word in the title, the subtitle, and any proper names or other words normally given initial capitals in the language in question.

Please use ample margins and 1.5 line spacing.
Do not use running heads and avoid full justification and ‘stiff’ hyphenation. Examples, quotations, tables, headings etc. should be presented in a clear and consistent way, so that they can be identified and formatted in the style of our journal. References should be given in accordance with our style sheet (‘Instructions to Authors’); font enhancements (such as italics, bold face, caps, small caps, etc.) may be applied directly in the text itself.
Whatever formatting or style conventions are employed, please be consistent.
Tables and figures
All tables, figures, and trees must fit within the page size as specified below:
4.5” x 7.5” (≈ 11,5 cm x 19 cm)
Please be aware that prior to typesetting, the pages will have to be reduced in size; any lettering etc. should be big enough to be legible also after reduction. Suggested font setting for main text: Times (New) Roman 12 pts. For tables and footnotes: Times Roman 10 pts (absolute lowest size: 8 pts).
Tables and figures should be numbered consecutively and provided with appropriate captions. They should be referred to in the main text as “Table 2”, “Figure 3”, etc. (avoid expressions such as “in the following table: ...” or “See the figure below.”).
