Authors whose papers have not been
recommended are notified by the Editor-in-Chief within 5 days of receipt of the
review. Within the same period, the Editor-in-Chief also informs other authors
of the positive evaluation of their papers, as well as of any remarks and
suggestions for alteration. Authors are obliged to accept the reviewers'
recommendations and to modify their paper accordingly, within the period
determined by the Editor-in-Chief, not less than 7 days. That period may only
be shortended in agreement with the author.

headings (REFERENCES and SUMMARY followed by the title of the
paper in normal capitals, all with left alignment, bold capitals). A final
section of the paper should be entitled KEYWORDS
and it should contain up to ten of these. Authors are requested to insert their
notes as endnotes only, placed at the end of the whole paper, before the references
(insert → reference → footnote (choose endnotes with number format 1, 2, 3)). The references should be ordered
alphabetically (without numbering), according to the alphabet of the language
in which the paper is written. The second line (and all the consecutive lines)
of each reference title should be indented by 7 character spaces. The list of
references should only include those titles quoted in the text. The summary, followed by the title of the paper (normal capitals, left alignment), may contain up to 200 words.

Any quotation, paraphrase or summary should be cited within parentheses, indicating the name of the author, the year of publication and the relevant page, e.g. (Chomsky 1957: 75), or, in case of books with two authors, (Chomsky/Halle 1968: 35–43). If the book has more than two authors, only the first author's name should be given, followed by et al. (e.g. Quirk et al.). Et al. should be italicized. Page numbers should always be specified in full form, e.g. 240–241, not 240–1 or 240f.
For citations referring to multi-volume sources, indicate the volume, e.g. (1968, 1: 56).
If more than one work by the same author(s) are cited, specify the year of publication for each work, e.g. (Johnson 1935, 1990).
Longer quotations (5-10 lines) should be given without quotation marks, separated from the preceding and following text by a single line, and indented on both sides by 10 character spaces.

guidelines when citing references, since editing, proofreading and preparations
for print are thereby remarkably streamlined. This minimizes the need for
subsequent corrections and alterations and accelerates the publication of the
