Author Guidelines

Structure of a Dilim

Every dilim contains four mandatory parts; their internal arrangement is left to the author.

  • Abstract / Öz: in Turkish and in English, each of at most 150 words; 4 to 6 keywords.
  • Data / Veri: examples are numbered and glossed according to the Leipzig Glossing Rules. The language and variety are specified, and the source of the data (the author's judgements, field elicitation, a corpus or a published source) is stated in one sentence. Where experimental data are used, the method is described briefly.
  • Knot / Düğüm: the theoretical proposal that the data contradict, or the proposals between which they decide, and the reasons for this. A paper without this section is not sent for review.
  • References: Unified Style Sheet for Linguistics.

Judgement Data

In theoretical linguistics the author's judgement is evidence, and acceptability is marked with diacritics (*, ?, #). For data based on judgements, the author is not asked for a number of speakers or for an experiment.

Statements and the First Page

Style and Templates
