• Further personal information is not mentioned.

• The title in the original language is followed by the English translation of the title in a new line and in bold, unless the title is already in English. If there is a subtitle, it is also translated into English.
• Articles in the Zeitschrift für Dialektologie und Linguistik contain a summary and keywords in the original language, as well as an abstract and keywords in English.

• Every quote needs a reference.
• References are placed directly in the text in brackets. The source is indicated in brackets after the quotation or statement to be substantiated. The short reference follows the author-year principle.

This is a statement that needs to be verified (Louis 1996: 27)

(vgl. Müller 1995: 7) or … like Grundmann (2007: 18–22) showed

in the case of two: (Müller and Meier 1995: 28)

in the case of more than two: (Müller et al. 2017: 36)

• If several publications by the same person were published in the same year, they are distinguished from each other by lowercase letters at the end of the year:

Meier (1999a: 5–8).

Meier (1999b: 17–23).

• If there are several references within a bracket, please separate the bibliographic details with commas:

(Müller 2011, 2012, Meier 2015)

• Please avoid indicating page ranges with ‘f.’ or ‘ff.’ Instead, always specify the exact page range:

(Keitel 2018: 202–203)

(Vasold 2008: 276–288)

• Please avoid abbreviations like „ebd.“, „ibid.“ etc.
• Every short reference that is used in the text body needs its according detailed reference within the bibliography.

• The bibliography with detailed source and literature references is located at the end of an article; only the short title is mentioned in the references in the text body.
• The bibliography contains all cited titles and only these. The first level is sorted alphabetically by author, the second by year of publication:

Fischer, Fritz. 2004. Random title. Stuttgart: Steiner.

Fischer, Fritz. 2012. Example title. Stuttgart: Steiner.

Schneider, Lisa. 1982. Random title. Stuttgart: Steiner.
