4 Typographical Conventions 4.1 Examples and foreign words Examples of data in linguistic texts should be numbered with Arabic numerals between parentheses. Examples are set apart from the main body of the text on a separate line, with a blank line before and after, and indented. Examples should be single-spaced: (1) This is an example of how examples should be arranged in your paper or thesis. Note line spacing and indentation. (2) * Examples what is ungrammatical should be marked with an asterisk. A letter, word, phrase or sentence cited as a linguistic example or as a subject of discussion must be marked by italics. Similarly, cited forms in a foreign language should be marked by italics; they should be followed, at least at the first occurrence, by a gloss in single quotation marks: Separate is one of the most frequently misspelled words in the English language. One aspect of their national character that Finns are particularly proud of is sisu, „determination and resilience‟, as displayed by the entire people during the Winter War. 4.2 Terms and Highlighting At the first occurrence of a term mark it with italics or single quotation marks: This paper discusses the differences between restrictive and non-restrictive relative clauses. Restrictive relative clauses can be defined as ... Or, alternatively: This paper discusses the differences between „restrictive‟ and „non-restrictive‟ relative clauses. Restrictive relative clauses can be defined as ... For highlighting or emphasis use either italics or boldface but be consistent. 3
5 Quotations and References in the Text The Golden Rule: Give Credit to Whom Credit is Due. 5.1 When to do it? Data: When you are analysing or discussing primary data, always indicate the source. This includes data you have collected yourself. Research: When you make use of any work by other people, you must always indicate the source of the information; this also includes personal correspondence or conversations. Within the text, this usually means the surname of the author(s), the year of publication and the page number (see Section 5.2). There are three correct ways of making use of other people‟s studies: quotation, paraphrase and summary. Anything else is plagiarism or theft, which are illegal. 5.2 Quotations All references must be provided in the running text and not in footnotes or endnotes. You may quote if you need to use the exact words of the original. For instance, this may be because the material is unique and memorable or because the original statement is well-written and more compelling than a summary or paraphrase of it would be. A quotation must match the original exactly. Even errors, such as misprints, must be reproduced; to show that the error is in the original, use [sic] after the relevant point. Below, there is a sample of an original text by Schlant. Several examples in this section will draw from it: Historians, political scientists, economists, and journalists are constrained (or ought to be) by facts, and other objective criteria, whereas literature projects the play of information, exposing levels of conscience and consciousness that are part of a culture‟s unstated assumptions and frequently unacknowledged elsewhere. Because they are unconsciously held, these assumptions provide greater insight into the moral positions at work than do its explicit opinions and images, which are often censored or the expression of wishful thinking. Literature lays bare a people‟s dreams and nightmares, its hopes and apprehensions, its moral positions and its failures. It reveals even where it is silent; its blind spots and absences speak a language stripped of conscious agendas. (Schlant 1999: 3) Every change, however trivial, should be indicated. You do so by using square brackets, as in the example below: Schlant claims that “[l]iterature [...] reveals even where it is silent; its blind spots and absences speak a language stripped of conscious agendas” (1999: 3). 4
