Directory         1.     Guido Oebel , First Call for Papers: German-English Anthology Message 1: First Call for Papers: German-English Anthology Date: 24-Feb-2011 From: Guido Oebel <guidooebelyahoo.de> Subject: First Call for Papers: German-English Anthology E-mail this message to a friend First Call for Papers (contributing to the German-English anthology: ''Intensivierungskonzepte bei Adjektiven und Adverben im Sprachvergleich'' / ''Crosslinguistic comparison of Intensified Adjectives and Adverbs'') Deadline: October 30th, 2011 Following the publication of the first dictionary of so-called ''German Volkssuperlatives'' (''Woerterbuch deutschsprachiger Volkssuperlative'' – in press: http://www.verlagdrkovac.de/978-3-8300-5610-2.htm) and its supplementary volume presenting papers written by several contributors authors are invited to contribute papers dealing with the linguistic phenomenon of intensifying adjectives (and adverbs), i.e. such as compounds (noun + adjective: e.g. ice-cold, crystal-clear, stone-dead, etc.) particularly in Germanic languages. However, other less compound-friendly languages such as Romance languages may probably make use of different intensifiers like absolute Superlative or Elative (e.g. Spanish: La chica es guapísima. El agua está clarísima.). Even other intensifiers such as reduplication may be applied in languages not belonging to the Indo-European family, e.g. in Japanese hara hara (= extremely exciting), waku waku (= extremely excited), mainichi mainichi (= German: tagtäglich, = daily/every single day) etc., so there are various methods to achieve adjectival intensifying across languages. First deadline for receipt of completed papers is October 30th, 2011; papers must be in English or German and submitted electronically to Guido J. Oebel at guidooebelyahoo.de Author Guidelines: Supply one copy of the paper and keep an identical copy for reference. Manuscripts will not be returned. Submissions must be sent electronically to: guidooebelyahoo.de. Submission of a paper is assumed to mean that it is original work which has not been previously published and is not simultaneously in press or being considered for publication elsewhere (in either electronic or hard copy). Related articles being published or considered elsewhere should be acknowledged. Submissions should normally be limited to a maximum of 30 manuscript pages (single-spaced, Times New Roman (TNR) 14, including all references, tables, figures, appendices, etc. Exceptions might be where additional space is essential, for example, in reviewing extensive literatures or in representing large corpora. General layout of the text: The format of the document will be: Times New Roman (TNR) 14, line spacing: single. Page margins: - Top: 35 mm; - Bottom: 30 mm; - Left / Right : 30 mm - Title of the paper - TNR 16, bold, centered, followed by a double space - Name and surname, only the latter in capital letters - TNR, 14, centered, followed in parentheses by - Affiliation - TNR 14, followed by a double space - Abstract - TNR 12, followed by a single space - Key words: TNR 14, three - five key words, followed by a single space - Content: TNR, 14, followed by a single space Bold letters will be used for highlighting chapter headlines. Avoid more than two levels of subheadings. Please avoid underlining. The references are to be written in the text of the paper as shown in the following example: (Author's surname, name, year of publication, title, page(s)). The reference list added to the bibliography at the end of the article will include all the references mentioned in the text. Other reference works consulted for the article will be added. - Inverted commas - in English, German, Spanish, etc.: ''xxxx'', in French: «xxxx». - Apostrophe - the ' form will be used. - Notes should appear as footnotes only (no endnotes!). - Do not number the pages but make sure the pages are in the correct order. A single space should be left between the paper and bibliography. Bibliography: Bibliographic references will be listed in alphabetical order, in TNR 14, as in the following examples: Books: Author (if possible, including first name), year, title, place of publication, publishing house, e.g.: Adelung (author’s surname), (Komma) Johann (first name) Christoph (possibly middle name) (1781) (year of publication): (colon) Deutsche Sprachlehre für Schulen – zum Gebrauche der Schulen in den Königlich-Preußischen Landen (title in italic). (period) Berlin (place of publication): (colon) Voß & Sohn (publishing house). (period) Articles: Author, year, ''title'', journal, number, page(s) e.g.: Schröder, Edward (1899): ''Steigerung und Häufung der Alliteration in der westgermanischen Dichtung'', in: Zeitschrift für deutsches Altertum und deutsche Literatur, Bd. 43, 361-385. Contributions to collective volumes: Author, year, ''title'', editor's name (ed.), Title of the collective volume, publishing house, page(s), e.g.: Traugott, Elizabeth (1985): ''Conventional and Dead Metaphors Revisited'', in Paprotté, Wolf & René Dirven (eds.): The Ubiquity of Metaphor – Metaphor in Language and Thought. Amsterdam, Philadelphia: Benjamins, 17-56. Electronic sources will be mentioned alphabetically. The access day will be mentioned, e.g.: Falkenstein, Janna (2005): De volkssuperlatief in het nederlands. Hauptseminararbeit in Sprachwissenschaft an der FUB: Wortbildung des Niederländischen: synchron – diachron. München: Grin-Verlag, 21, online unter/at: http://www.grin.com/e-book/69923/de-volkssuperlatief-in-het-nederlands, consulted on February 3rd, 2011. Tables and Figures should be inserted where they should appear in the pages and numbered consecutively. Keep detail on tables and figures to the minimum needed to substantiate the points made in the text. Ensure all figures are of sufficient quality to reproduce adequately. Lists or numbered examples should use Arabic numbers on the margin, followed by a stop but without parentheses, with the text indented throughout. Long quotations whether citations or data should be separated from the text and indented, and in TNR 12. Spelling and Punctuation: Use double quote marks for ''quotations''. Give page number of reference for direct quotations. When writing in English, both British and American spelling and punctuation conventions may be used, but they should be applied consistently throughout the paper. Notes: Avoid the use of notes where possible - authors will be asked to reduce excessive numbers of notes. Notes will appear as footnotes only (in TNR 12) and be numbered consecutively. References: References should use the author/date system, e.g.: (Hymes 1974). When the authors name appears in the text, use: ''Gumperz (1983) argues that...'' Type Format. Page numbers appear after a colon (plus space) following the date, such as: Labov (1972: 269-270). Do not use additional parentheses for the date of a reference contained in text that is already enclosed in parentheses. Use semicolons between a sequence of references by different authors. For works with three or more authors, either use all authors names at each citation: Fishman, Ferguson & das Gupta (1968); or use et al. after first mention: Fishman et al. (1968). All works cited must appear under the title References following any notes. Check thoroughly that all works cited in text and notes appear in the list of references, and that authors and dates match between citation and references. The references appear in alphabetical order. Use authors names as they appear on the published sources, with full first name unless author uses only initials. Reverse first and last names only for the head name of the reference. Same-author references appear in date order. Same-date references by the same author should be identified with letters: Labov 1972a, 1972b, 1972c, etc. Multiple-authored works follow all sole-authored works by the first author, in alphabetical order of second (and subsequent) authors. Indent the second and subsequent lines of each reference. Capitalize main words in book and journal titles. Use minimal capitalization in article titles, but capitalize the first letter after a colon within the title. Do not use quotation marks around article or chapter titles. Underline the titles of books and journals. Give volume number for journal references, and publisher plus place of publication for books. Spell out U.S. state names in full. Use the ampersand-symbol '&' instead of the word 'and'. Give full page numbers for articles in journals and books. Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics New!
