CALL FOR PAPERS Next submission deadline: January 31, 2009 Book reviews are also welcome! |
-
Submissions: Affiliates of CU-Boulder engaged in language related studies are eligible to publish in CRIL. Please submit papers electronically, formatted to CRIL style specifications, as a Word document to Chad.Nilep@Colorado.EDU.
-
Length: Suggested length is 5,000 to 8,000 words. We are looking for original work suitable for academic journals in your sub-field. We suggest revising theses or book chapters to journal length for publication in CRIL. Interdisciplinary studies and work that deals with language by those in other departments (e.g. sociology, anthropology, computer science, psychology, philosophy, literature, modern languages, media studies, etc.) is encouraged.
-
Font: 12 point Times New Roman
NB You must embed any fonts other than Times New Roman or Courier in your Word document. Don't worry, it's simple - just follow the steps below.
Embed TrueType fonts in a document (directions for Windows XP - other systems may vary slightly):
-
On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Save tab.
-
Select the Embed TrueType fonts check box.
-
Save the document.
-
-
CRIL style sheet: Please use our style sheet template to format your paper before submission. The easiest way to do this is to save the template on your computer, paste your paper into it, then reformat the sections according to the "styles and formatting" categories specified in the template.
Note: Embedded TrueType fonts can increase the size of your document. You may be able to reduce the file size of your document by selecting the Embed characters in use only check box. This option embeds only the font styles used in your document. Also, if you used 32 or fewer characters of a font — for example, a few symbols or a headline — Word embeds only those characters. Note that this option is most useful for documents that other users plan to view or print only, because the unembedded font characters and styles aren't available for editing.
If you run into trouble, type "embed fonts" into Microsoft Word Help to find specific directions for your version of Word.
If you are looking for IPA and other common fonts used by linguists, try SIL IPA 93. Note, you'll need to embed any of these fonts in your final Word document, as well.
We encourage everyone with an ongoing affiliation with the Department of Linguistics at CU-Boulder -- students past and present, faculty, and colleagues in related programs (e.g. Institute of Cognitive Science) -- to submit their work. Only your participation will realize the intended purpose of CRIL, namely to substantively represent the state of current research in our department. Research in linguistics at CU is diverse and this is reflected in the types of papers published. If you wish to see the contents of previous hard volumes of CRIL, these can be found in the Linguistics Library in Hellems 290 (in the department's main office.)
From 2004 onward, CRIL will be an online publication only. It is important to note that CRIL is a "working papers" publication and in that respect does not constitute "prior publication" (i.e. this does not disqualify you from having your paper published in a professional journal at a later stage). On the other hand, anything published in CRIL can still be referenced in a bibliography and enhance your Curriculum Vitae.
Authors of papers that are accepted will be asked to submit their finalized paper in Word format, formatted according to the style sheet and the specifications outlined above. Both an electronic version and hard copy will be requested at that time. Hard copies can be turned in to the CRIL box located at the very bottom of the graduate student boxes in the linguistics department, or mailed to CRIL / Hellems 290, 295 UCB / Boulder, CO 80309-0295.
Please address any questions to Chad.Nilep@Colorado.EDU.
