We will produce a volume with the proceedings of CLIN 2003, which will distributed at CLIN 2004. Therefore, we invited all CLIN 2003 speakers to submit a written version of their talk or poster for publication in the CLIN 2003 Proceedings. The paper had to be written in English and the maximum length was 15 pages. All submissions were reviewed by two anonymous reviewers. Twenty-three papers were submitted of which eleven were accepted.

The time schedule was as follows:

16 February - Statement of intent - please send an email to bart.decadt@ua.ac.be, with the following information:
- Title of submission
- Author(s) - if there is more than one author, indicate the author who will be the contact person
- E-mail address(es)
02 April - Submission of your paper:
- send your LaTeX file submission to bart.decadt@ua.ac.be
- please include all graphics, pictures and bibliography files
- the best is to create a tar or zip-file which contains all files
11 June - Notification of acceptance and reviewers' report
15 July - Submission of final version - send a compressed archive containing all LaTeX source files and a final PS or PDF file of you paper to veronique.hoste@ua.ac.be

:: format and style guidelines ::

Requirements

The contribution must be typeset in LaTeX2e, not in LaTeX2.09.
Make sure that the contribution compiles without errors, and preferably without warnings with maximal badness (10000).
Your contribution should have an abstract of approximately 10 lines.
Maximum length: 15 pages - everything included!

Recommended packages

You will need clin.sty and clin.bst in order to obtain the required page layout. Both packages were kindly made available by Hendri Hondorp (University of Twente).

Furthermore, we suggest you use:

harvard.sty for the bibliography
gb4e.sty and cgloss4e.sty for examples and glosses
avm.sty for the creation of AVMs
trees.sty and tree-dvips.sty for the creation of tree schemata
graphicx.sty for illustrations
tipa.sty for phonetic symbols (tipa manual in postscript)

These packages are usually included in LaTeX2e. If you want to use additional packages, please let us know.

Additional Information

Contact addresses - you should not include the author's address in the article. Addresses will be included in a separate 'Contributors' section.

Sample code - this is what your .tex file should look like - see the sample .tex file and the sample bibliography file.

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt,twoside]{article}

Note that if you want to use the \begin{equation} ... \end{equation} environment, you will have to include fleqn in the \documentclass[...]{...} options! The top of your LaTeX file should then look like this:
\documentclass[a4paper,10pt,twoside,fleqn]{article}

\usepackage{harvard}	 % Bibliography Stylefile
\usepackage{...,cgloss4e,avm,trees,tree-dvips,gb4e,ipa,graphicx}

- when referring to both volume and page:
  
  (Barnes 1981, 3:125)
- when referring only to a volume:
  
  (Garcia 1982, vol. 2)
- do not use ampersand in your text:

- when all or part of the citation is incorporated in the sentence, it is not enclosed in parentheses:
  
  Jones and Carter (1980) report findings...
Dashes:
- use the em-dash (---) in cases like the following - no spaces:
  
  Spell out names in the glosses---so, do not leave them out. One of the better films of the festival---and it is not as if we are Tarantino fans---certainly was...
- use the en-dash (--) for numbers, dates, times etc.:
  
  groups of 10--50 people Saturday 13.00--15.00 pm. (Pratt 1975, 121--25)
