The Journal of Celtic Linguistics publishes articles and reviews on all aspects of the linguistics of the Celtic languages, modern, medieval and ancient, with particular emphasis on synchronic studies, while not excluding diachronic and comparative-historical work.
Papers are invited in English on all fields/‘levels’ of analysis; phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics; formal or functional, cross-language typological or language-internal, dialectological or sociolinguistic, any theoretical paradigm.

1. Manuscripts should be in English, French or German, though submissions in any of the Celtic languages will also be considered provided a summary in English is supplied. All papers should be preceded by a summary of not more than 250 words. First submissions should be as hardcopy, and three copies should be submitted to the nearest Regional Editor. The originals of any artwork should only be supplied on acceptance of the article.
2. Final submissions for accepted papers should preferably be on IBM PC compatible 3˝ inch discs, together with a hardcopy printout. Please consult the Administrative Editor concerning acceptable word-processors. Submissions in ASCII code are acceptable if your wordprocessor cannot be dealt with. Any special symbols (such as IPA) that cannot be produced in your program should be highlighted in the text. Authors are urged to avoid use of unusual symbolizations.
3. Figures should be drawn in black ink on white card. Lettering should be of a high standard and of such a size that it remains legible when reduced to a width of 110mm. All artwork should be marked in pencil on the back with the name(s) of the author(s) and the figure number. Authors should indicate where in a text any figures should occur. Written permission to reproduce any materials held in copyright by others should be included with the submission.
4. Referencing within the text should be given thus: ‘This work is described in full in Hendrick (1990)’. Quoted material should be dealt with thus: ‘regressive assimilation is by far the most common type’ (Ó Cuiv 1986: 401). The first mention in the text of any work involving more than two authors should be in full (for example, Ball, Fife, Poppe and Rowland, 1990); subsequent mentions should be abbreviated to Ball et al. All cited references should be listed alphabetically at the end of the article using the following styles (book/thesis/journal titles with mixed capitals and lower case, article titles in lower case; journal names in full):

5. Footnotes should be collected together, and listed at the end of the article. Footnotes should not contain any special symbols.
6. Phonetic symbols should be those of the International Phonetic Association, as most recently revised (1989). Care should be taken when marking symbols by hand, and over the correct use of bracketing.
7. Authors may request blind refereeing, and should therefore prepare first submissions with a second title page omitting their name.
Submissions should be sent to the nearest Regional Editor: David Cram, Jesus College Oxford, OX1 3DW, UK; Dónall Ó Baoill, Linguistics Institute of Ireland, 31 Fitzwilliam Place, Dublin 2, Éire; Erich Poppe, Vergleichende Sprachwissenschaft FB11, Phillips Universität, D-35032 Marburg, Germany; James Fife, 9925 Paseo Montril, San Diego CA 92129, USA; David Thorne, Department of Welsh, St David’s University College, Lampeter, Dyfed, SA48 7ED, Wales, UK.
