Templates

Mouton de Gruyter has created a WORD template to assist authors and editors submitting manuscripts for publication. We recommend that you use the template in conjunction with the Mouton style sheet.

There are two general versions of the camera-ready-copy (CRC) template available: one for monographs, and one for edited works. Within each of these categories you can choose the template that matches your paper format. There is also a special template for the Mouton Grammar Library (MGL) series.

Mouton de Gruyter Style Sheet (pdf)
Style Sheet for the Mouton Grammar Library (MGL) (pdf)

The Mouton style sheet provides detailed information on our formatting requirements. It also serves as a sample document for those authors and editors not using the template to format their manuscript.

**Please note that we have recently updated our style sheet!**

If you have already begun formatting according to the previous version, please feel free to continue to use this older version, or you may change to the template; whichever is most convenient for you. The template will format your document according to the updated style sheet. Authors and Editors who have not yet formatted their manuscript should use the updated style sheet.

Your Managing Editor and/or Production Editor at Mouton will be happy to assist you should you have any questions.
