Abstract (Abstract heading, 10pt bold TNR)

This is the paper template for Fonetik 2026. Fonetik 2026 will be held in Lund 8-10 June 2026. For your paper to be published in the conference proceedings, you must use this document as both an instruction set and as a template into which you can type your own text. The prescribed language is English and the maximum number of pages is 6. (Normal, 9pt italic TNR)

Introduction (Heading 1, 11pt bold TNR)

This template can be found on the conference website. Please use MS-Word when preparing your submission. The template should work in any version of MS-Word capable of handling DOCX files. An abstract (up to 2 pages) or a paper (up to 6 pages), formatted according to these instructions, should be submitted no later than 3 May 2026. The final date for definite registration is the same as the final submission date. (Normal, 10pt TNR).

Page layout and style (Heading 2, 10pt bold TNR)

Authors should observe the following rules for page layout. A highly recommended way to meet these requirements is to use this template and check details against the corresponding example PDF file.

Basic layout features (Heading 3, 10pt italic TNR)

Like previous Fonetik meetings at Lund University, the proceedings will be published in the Lund University Working Papers in Linguistics series.

The left and right margins are 22.5 mm each, and the top and bottom margins are 17.5 mm. Two columns are used except for the title section and for large figures that may need a full-page width (column width is 79.5 mm and column spacing 6 mm). Do not use pagination, page numbers will be added later to the document electronically. Headers and footers must be left entirely empty. Check indentations and spacings by comparing to the PDF version of the example file.

Headings

Section headings (Heading 1) are left adjusted with the first word capitalized and the rest of the heading in lower case (Times New Roman 11 pt, boldface, spacing before 6 pt and spacing after 3 pt). Sub-headings (Heading 2) appear like Section headings, except that they are 10 points. Sub-sub-headings (Heading 3) appear like sub-headings, except that they are in italics and not boldface. See the examples in this file. Remove the spacing before headings at the top of a column. Avoid using more than 3 levels of headings.

Figures (no spacing before at top of column)

All figures must be centred on the column (or page, if the figure spans both columns). Figures which occupy the full-page width should preferably be placed at the top of the page. Take care that references to figures do not appear on pages where the figure has not yet been visible. In the proceedings, papers start with their first page on the right-hand side, so the second and third pages make up a spread.

Use Section Break (Next Page) before, and Section Break (Continuous) after two column figures to achieve this. We recommend that you insert figures by placing the cursor on the line where the figure should go and then use Insert>Pictures>Picture from file…

Figures 1 and 2 shows examples of two- and one-column figures, respectively. Figures should be preferably line drawings (EPS or PDF). Colour or grayscale photographs (TIFF or JPEG) should have a minimum resolution of 300 dpi.

Paragraphs

Paragraphs are not indented if they follow directly on a heading, a figure/table, or a page/column break. (Normal)

When they instead follow another paragraph, they are indented. If at all possible, place 1-column figures in one of the corners of the page where they are first referenced. Capitalise the label in references: Figure 1 shows a picture that has been used as an example in several versions of Fonetik templates. (Normal Indented 1st)

Figure 1. This is an example of a figure caption for a figure spanning one column. (Caption)

Figure 2. This is an example of a figure caption for a figure spanning two columns. (Caption)

Ensure that each figure has a caption placed below the figure. Right click on the figure and choose Insert caption… to achieve this. A caption should comprise a brief title (not on the figure itself) and a description of the figure. Keep text in the figures themselves to a minimum but explain all symbols and abbreviations used in the caption instead. Figures that contain grey levels or colours should be checked to print well on a high-quality non-colour laser printer. Do not rely on colours that may be difficult to distinguish, for example for people with colour-blindness.

Tables

Table 1 shows an example of a one-column table, but large tables may span both columns as well. Like tow-column figures, two-column tables should preferably be placed at the top of the page, or if necessary, at the bottom. Use Section Break (Next Page) before, and Section Break (Continuous) after the table to accomplish this.

Insert a table caption by right clicking the table and choose Insert caption… The table caption text should be above the table.

Text font

The font used throughout is Times New Roman. The body text type size is 10 pt with single line spacing.

The first line of each new passage within a section is indented by 6 mm, as it is in this example paragraph. (Normal indent 1st)

Phonetic transcription

In your choice of phonetic symbols, please adhere to IPA conventions. For technical assistance, see https://www.internationalphoneticassociation.org/content/ipa-fonts. On modern Windows installations, use the IPA that is built in with Times New Roman. For Mac, you may have to resort to the Doulos SIL IPA font (SIL International, 2018). On Linux, installing an IPA keyboard should provide access to Times New Roman IPA fonts.

Table 1. This is an example of a table caption (Caption) Insert an empty row (Normal) below tables unless it is at the bottom of a page.

Table 1	Table 1	Table 1
Cell	Cell	Cell
Cell	Cell	Cell
Cell	Cell	Cell

Equations

Equations should be placed on separate lines and numbered. An example of an equation is given below (Equation 1).

(1)

Nomenclature and units

Please employ the following conventions for symbols and units: s = seconds; ms = milliseconds; Hz for frequency; fo for fundamental frequency; F1, F2, F3, etc. for formants. Use non-breaking spaces before the units (on Windows, hold Shift and Ctrl while typing the space). Examples: 10 s, 20 ms, 1200 Hz, 3 cm, inter alia.

Statistics

Also, use non-breaking spaces around the signs of statistical descriptions. Examples: F(1,9) = 12; p < 0.001. t < 7.32; p < 0.001; df = 6. T = 1.01; ns.

Even columns on last page

Even out the columns on the last page by inserting a continuous section break (easiest way is to type “Insert break” in Word’s help field and chose Insert>Section>Continuous in the menu that appears.

Article structure

Title

The title should be concise and informative. Titles are often used in information-retrieval systems. Avoid abbreviations and formulae where possible.

Author names, affiliation and email

Present the authors’ affiliation addresses (where the actual work was done) below the names. Indicate all affiliations with a superscript figure immediately after the author’s name and in front of the appropriate address. Provide the department, university, country, and e-mail address of each author.

Abstract

A concise and factual abstract is required (50-200 words). The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separate from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. References should therefore be avoided, but if essential, they must be cited in full, without reference to the reference list. Non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself.

Introduction

State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results.

Material and methods

Provide sufficient detail to allow the work to be reproduced. Methods already published should be indicated by a reference: only relevant modifications should be described.

Results

Results should be clear and concise.

Discussion

This should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. A combined Results and discussion section is often appropriate. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature.

Conclusions

The main conclusions of the study may be presented in a short Conclusions section, which may stand alone or form a subsection of a Discussion or Results and discussion section.

References

Citations in the text should follow the referencing style used by the American Psychological Association (Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 2019). Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Citation of a reference as ‘in press’ implies that the item has been accepted for publication.

Use of reference management packages (e.g. Zotero, Mendeley or EndNote) is encouraged. Using plug-ins to word processing packages, authors only need to select the APA 7 template when preparing their article and the list of references and citations to these will be formatted according to the style which is described below. Note, however, that you need to remove the reference codes when submitting the (Word) source code. This is usually done with a single macro/command but depends on which reference management package you use.

This sentence contains examples of in-text citations to a journal publication (Edlund, Gustafson, Heldner, & Hjalmarsson, 2008), to a book (Jaffe & Feldstein, 1970), and to a random paper that Włodarczak and Heldner (2016) published at a conference. The use of digital object identifiers ‘DOI’ is encouraged. The first paragraph in this section contains an example of an in-text citation to books without named author.

The list of references is written with size 9 pt, left and right justified. The first row has a hanging indent of 6 mm. Apply the style called References to the list of references.

Discussion

This is the discussion. Is there any discussion?

This is the next paragraph of the discussion.

Conclusions

Authors must proofread their PDF file prior to submission to ensure it is correct. Authors should not rely on proofreading the Word file. The final version of your paper, whose length must not exceed 6 pages + references, should be submitted electronically in both pdf-format and docx formats (for editing) no later than 3 May 2026. There will be an opportunity to make cosmetic corrections and to correct typos before the final version of the Working Papers in Linguistics will be published.
