Do not submit work that has been published previously or is simultaneously being submitted elsewhere.

The normal language of publication is British or American English.

Divide up your contribution as follows, using those words as headings which are capitalized and italicized in (1)–(10):
(1) title of the article, or full bibliographical details of the book reviewed, followed by the name(s) of the author(s);
(2) Abstract of not more than 100 words, followed by 3–5 suggested Keywords (both in the case of articles only);
(3) body of the work, including footnotes;
(4) full Correspondence Address (i.e. snailmail and email);´
(5) Acknowledgements (if any are due);
(6) Abbreviations, ordered alphabetically, as running text;
(7) Appendix (e.g., for texts or the listing of a sample);
(8) References;
(9) special matter (figures, tables, maps, other artwork), to be inserted in the body of the work at typesetting;
(10) any supporting electronic material not to be included in the printed version, but to be made permanently available online on LT ’s website.

All submissions to LT are peer-reviewed, with the average reviewing time 2–3 months.

When your submission has been accepted, send an electronic text file to the Editor that can be used for copy-editing and typesetting, accompanied by a .pdf and one printout. Especially at this final stage, follow the De Gruyter Mouton journal style sheet meticulously and avoid anything liable to complicate copy-editing and typesetting from the text file (fancy formatting, unnecessarily complex tables, figures, artwork, unusual fonts for usual characters).

Authors are asked to check their manuscripts very carefully before submitting them in order to prevent delays and extra costs at proofing. Authors will receive PDF proofs for correction which must be returned by dates given in the publication schedule.

Upon publication, authors will receive electronic offprints (in PDF format) of their contribution. Guest editors of special issues will receive complimentary print copies of the issue.
