GUIDELINES FOR AUTHORS

The journal is currently considering contributions in Croatian, Italian and English, although we might exceptionally consider papers in other languages.

Authors are requested to send their paper as an MS Word file to sponde@unizd.hr.

For papers that contain any special characters, such as Greek alphabet, Cyrillic script, etc. deliver both the MS Word and PDF file.

The heading should include author’s full name, e-mail address, phone number, and the institutional affiliation.

The title should be followed by an abstract of up to 150 words and a maximum of 5 keywords written in the same language as the paper.

The paper should be accompanied by keywords and abstracts of up to 250 words in both Italian and English.

The paper should not exceed 4,800 words (footnotes included), or 30,000 characters including spaces (approximately 16 standard pages). The editorial board reserves the right to accept longer texts if necessary.

Use 12-point Times New Roman font with 1.5 line spacing.

Use italics for:

• foreign or dialect words that are not in wide general use
• graphemes, words and syntagma that are the object of analysis
• titles of books, magazines, journals, chapters
• titles of short stories and poems; the first line of a poem (when used in place of the title)
• titles of plays, films, artworks, musical works

Use double quotation marks (“”) for:

• citations
• emphatic, ironic, figurative language.

Use single quotation marks (' ') to clarify the meaning of foreign words, dialectal expressions, colloquialisms, and the like.

CITING AND REFERENCING RULES

Use in-text citations. Footnotes (font size 10) should be used exclusively for digressive notes and supplemental information.

The citation is placed in parentheses and includes information in the following order: author’s surname, publication year, page number/s.

E.g.,     (Berruto 2006: 3-4)

   (Gobber and Morani 2014: 8-9)

   (Starčević, Kapović and Sarić 2019: 32)

Works by more than three authors should be cited as follows:

E.g. (Bonomi et al. 2010: 123)

A quotation of no more than three lines should be put in double quotation marks and incorporated into the text.

The punctuation marks should be placed outside the quotation marks (except if the quote ends in an exclamation point, question mark, or ellipsis). Any omission of words within the sentence quoted must be marked by ellipsis points in square brackets.

Lines of verse should be run on with the lines and line breaks should be indicated by a forward slash. Any omission of verses at the beginning, middle or end of the poem, must be marked by ellipsis points in square brackets.

Quotations that exceed three lines should be set off from the text as a passage preceded and followed by a blank line; use font size 11 with single line spacing, do not add quotation marks.

When citing prose, do not indent the first line unless the original text is indented.

Use single quotes for quotations within quotations.

When quoting a dialogue in a play or screenplay, the names of the characters should be written in small caps.
