Author Guidelines

General Principles

  • An article submitted to Faz must not have been published before and must not be under review at another journal. Studies derived from a thesis or presented at a scholarly meeting are accepted, provided that this is stated in a note on the first page.
  • The first author must meet the authorship criterion set out on the "About the Journal" page.
  • Articles may be written in Turkish or English. Turkish articles follow the Spelling Guide of the Turkish Language Association (Türk Dil Kurumu).

Length and Structure

  • An article runs to at most 3,000 words, excluding references and appendices.
  • An article carries an abstract of no more than 150 words and between three and five keywords in each of the two languages.
  • An article addresses a single theoretical question and states that question and the proposal it defends explicitly in its introduction.

Linguistic Examples

  • Examples are numbered consecutively throughout the text: (1), (2a), (2b).
  • Examples from languages other than Turkish or English, and Turkish examples in which the morphological analysis matters, are given on three lines in accordance with the Leipzig Glossing Rules: the original sentence, the morpheme-by-morpheme gloss and the translation.
  • Unacceptable, questionable and context-dependent structures are marked with *, ? and # respectively.

Citation

  • Citations and the reference list follow the Unified Style Sheet for Linguistics.
  • In-text citations give the author's surname and the year of publication, with page numbers for quotations: (Chomsky 2000: 108).

Submission

  • The article is submitted through the journal system as a file that contains no author information. The authors' names, affiliations, e-mail addresses and ORCID identifiers are entered only in the submission form.
  • Self-citations that could reveal the author's identity are masked in the file as "Author (year)".

Templates

An article may be prepared with one of the journal's templates: Word template (article in English), Word template (article in Turkish), LaTeX template (open in Overleaf) or LaTeX template (ZIP). The templates use the Charis SIL typeface, which covers IPA symbols and Turkish characters; it can be downloaded free of charge from SIL's website.

Submission Preparation Checklist

  • The article has not been published before and is not under review at another journal.
  • The first author meets the authorship criterion of the journal.
  • The article runs to at most 3,000 words, excluding references and appendices, and carries an abstract and keywords in both languages.
  • The examples are numbered and, where required, glossed in accordance with the Leipzig Glossing Rules.
  • The reference list follows the Unified Style Sheet for Linguistics and contains every source cited in the text.
  • The file contains no information that could reveal the identity of the authors.

Squibs

Original short articles of at most 3,000 words, excluding references and appendices, addressing a single theoretical question.

Data & Puzzles

Where a squib argues for an answer, a Data & Puzzles contribution poses the question. It brings a single observation to bear on theory: a new datum, a fieldwork finding, or an unnoticed pattern that current analyses mispredict or leave unexplained. Authors state precisely which analysis the observation challenges and why; no solution is required. Data from understudied languages and varieties are especially welcome. Contributions run to at most 3,000 words and undergo double-anonymous review by at least two reviewers.

Remarks & Replies

Remarks & Replies carries the discussion forward. A remark tests a published claim, in Faz or elsewhere, against new data or a new argument; a reply answers a remark. When a remark concerns a paper published in Faz, the author of that paper is invited to reply. Contributions run to at most 3,000 words and undergo double-anonymous review by at least two reviewers.

Commentaries

Commentaries are invited. They address questions of method, evidence, or the state of a debate, are reviewed by two editors rather than by external reviewers, and are identified on publication as not peer-reviewed. Commentaries run to at most 3,000 words.
