Notes for the preparation of copy: The Oxford Handbook of Evidentiality

When you submit the revised paper, please list, on a separate sheet, phonetic and other non-standard symbols you have used, together with the corresponding key strokes, e.g.: N = shift + n. You should also state the font used, e.g. IPAKielSeven.
If you use Unicode (Doulos SIL), then you can specify the 'character code'.

Please use Arabic numerals and put these at top right.

Use italics (not bold) for any language material within the text but use normal (non-italic) style font for a set-off example — see Examples section below.
Use single quotes for glosses within the text, e.g. French has cheval 'horse'. Only use double quotes for quotes within quotes.

These may go down to three levels, e.g. §3, §3.2, §3.2.1. Do not use a fourth level (e.g. §3.2.1.1) — instead use (a), (b),... or (i), (ii),... within a third level heading. Refer to sections in your chapter (or in another chapter in the volume) by using § or §§, e.g. 'see §3.2' or 'see §§3-5'. (Note that § is used when cross-referencing a section, not in the actual heading of the section itself.)

Remember that you are preparing a clear typescript for a printer to work with; you are not supplying camera-ready copy. Please do not use fancy fonts/caps etc. for headings. Do each heading in plain style or in plain bold style. The copy editor will indicate to the printer how each heading should be set. Do not include any running heads.
Always leave a one line gap before a heading.
Do not indent the first line after a heading.
Do not include a table of contents.

Print each table and diagram on a separate page and indicate in the text its approximate position:

<place Table 1 about here>

In the printed volume notes will be placed as footnotes, at the bottoms of pages.
In your submitted typescript notes should come at the very end, after references (use a new page for the notes). They should be double spaced and in the same size font as the text.
All footnotes should be numbered consecutively. Do not have a first footnote that is indicated by *.
Put any acknowledgements in the first footnote (numbered 1).

Please note well: the potential publisher (Oxford University Press) has requested that authors should limit footnotes to a minimum.

For set-off sentential examples please employ the following style (with lower case for lexemes and pronominal number (sg, du, pl) and SMALL CAPS for grammatical elements).
(34)   yaw                        s-i-ht                          ti                       o-d

He looks for a universal.

(a) We prefer no initial capital for top line (partly to avoid trying to find capital versions of phonetic symbols). But if the language has a standard orthography which employs initial capitals, then use these. (Do, of course, be consistent.)
(b) Third line (English translation) should begin with a capital letter.
(c) If the sentence is a command or a question then put '!' or '?' at the end of both first and third lines. If it is a statement, then have no punctuation at the end of the top line but place a full stop (= period) at the end of the third line.
(d) If punctuation marks (',' or ';' or ':') are to be included within the sentence, the have these in matching positions on first and third lines.

NOTE: Do not put quotes around third line.

Do not use automatic numbering of examples. This will make things very difficult for the printer.

Publishers ask for tabular displays in examples, i.e. you should separate words in examples by tabs, not by spaces. Using spaces and not tabs makes it much harder and more time-consuming for the printer. This may cause the price of the volume to increase, and more errors to occur.
