This short abstract will also be used for producing the Booklet of Abstracts (PDF) containing the abstracts of all papers presented at the Conference.

Keywords: keyword1, keyword2, keyword3

Each extended abstract should be submitted on white A4 paper. The fully justified text should be formatted in two parallel columns, each 8.25 cm wide, and separated by a space of 0.63 cm. Left, right, and bottom margins should be 1.9 cm and the top margin 2.5 cm. The font for the main body of the text should be Times 10 pt with interlinear spacing of 11 pt. Extended abstracts must be 3 to 4 pages long, including figures and excluding references.

Paper

Each manuscript should be submitted on white A4 paper. The fully justified text should be formatted in two parallel columns, each 8.25 cm wide, and separated by a space of 0.63 cm. Left, right, and bottom margins should be 1.9 cm. and the top margin 2.5 cm. The font for the main body of the text should be Times 10 pt with interlinear spacing of 11 pt. Articles must be between a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 8 pages in length, regardless of the mode of presentation (oral or poster).

Page numbering

Please do not include page numbers in your article.

Title

The title of the article is in Times 14 pt boldface, and should appear in the centre of the page, 3 cm from the top. All the initials of each content word of the title MUST BE capitalised.

For example: The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

Authors’ data

The authors’ data are centred under the title, in the following format:
  Name(s): Times 12 pt boldface
  Affiliation: Times 10 pt regular
  Address: Times 10 pt regular
  E-mail address: Times 10 pt regular.

There should be no spaces left between paragraphs.

Headings 1

Level 1 headings should be capitalised in the same way as the main title, and centred within the column. The font used is Times 12 boldface. There should also be a space of 12 pt between the title and the preceding section, and a space of 3 pt between the title and the text following it.

Headings 2

The format for level 2 headings is the same as for level 1 Headings, with the font Times New Roman 11, and the heading is justified to the left of the column. There should also be a space of 6 pt between the title and the preceding section, and a space of 3 pt between the title and the text following it.

Headings 3

The format for level 3 headings is the same as for level 2 headings, except that the font is Times New Roman 10, and there should be no space left between the heading and the text. There should also be a space of 6 pt between the title and the preceding section, and a space of 3 pt between the title and the text following it.

References within the text

All references within the text should be placed in parentheses containing the author’s surname followed by a comma before the date of publication (Martin, 1996). If the sentence already includes the author’s name, then it is only necessary to put the date in parentheses: Martin (1996). When several authors are cited, those references should be separated with a semicolon: (Martin, 1996; Chibout & Masson, 1995). When the reference has more than three authors, only cite the name of the first author followed by et al. If the reference pertains to a Language Resource, it should be placed in parentheses containing the full author name followed by a comma before the date of publication (Speecon Consortium, 2014)

Footnotes

Footnotes are indicated within the text by a number in superscript. They should be in Times 9, and appear at the bottom of the same page as their corresponding number. Footnotes should also be separated from the rest of the text by a horizontal line 5 cm long.

Figures

All figures should be centred and clearly distinguishable. They should never be drawn by hand, and the lines must be very dark in order to ensure a high-quality printed version. Figures should be numbered in the text, and have a caption in Times 10 pt underneath. A space must be left between each figure and its respective caption.

Figure and caption should always appear together on the same page. Particularly large figures can be centred, using a full page.

Tables

The instructions for tables are the same as for figures (see previous section).

Example: Level Tools Morphology Pitrat Analyser Syntax LFG Analyser (C-Structure) Semantics LFG F-Structures + Sowa’s Conceptual Graphs Table 1: Caption.

Acknowledgements

Place all acknowledgements (including those concerning research grants and funding) in a separate section at the end of the article.

Bibliographical References

Bibliographical references should be listed in alphabetical order at the end of the article. The title of the section, "References", should be a level 1 heading. The first line of each bibliographical reference should be justified to the left of the column, and the rest of the entry should be indented by 0.35 cm.

The following examples (of fictitious references) illustrate the basic format required for conference Proceedings, books, journals, articles, Ph.D. theses, and chapters of books respectively:

Language Resource References

Language Resource references should be listed in alphabetical order at the end of the article, in the “Language Resource References” section, placed after the “Bibliographical References” section. The title of the “Language Resource References” section, should be a level 1 heading. The first line of each language resource reference should be justified to the left of the column, and the rest of the entry should be indented by 0.35 cm. The example in Section 13 illustrates the basic format required for language resources.
