The initial submission should be double-spaced throughout, and should conform to the conventions of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (latest ed.). The irst page should contain the title of the paper being submitted, name(s) and short address(es) (institution, location) of the author(s), a short running head, and a note giving acknowledgments and the corresponding author's full addres. The second page should contain an abstract of less than 200 words and a list of up to five Key Words. The text should be followed by footnotes, references, and appendices, in that order. Authros are especially asked to ensure that every reference made to another work within the body of the article is accurately matched to a corresponding entry in the bibliography. At this stage it is permissable, but not necessary, to insrt fully titled figures and tables at their appropriate positions in the text. Authors whose manuscripts are accepted for publication will receive further instructions on preparation fo tables and figures.
The test should use three levels of heading as follows: (1) flush left bold all caps; (2) flush left bold mixed case; (3) flush left italic (text should follow on the smae line). Headings should not be preceded with numerals. Do not use underlines to indicate italic style; use italic, or whatever style you intend in the final publication. Footnotes should be kept to a minimum, be as brief as possible and not exceed 100 words in length.
References in text should be given in one of the following forms, depending on th context:
... as has consistently been assumed by the Dutch school ('t Hart, Collier, & Cohen, 1990)
Scott (1982, p. 1005) found that "in sentences that contain ..."
Segui and Grqainger (1993) summarize the evidence from studies of visual word recognition.
The list of references should use the following format for most books, articles, and book chapters:
't HART, J., COLLIER, R., & COHEN, A. (1990). A perceptual study of intonation. Cambridge, U.K.: Cambridge University Press.
SCOTT, D. R. (1982). Duration as a cue to the perception of a phrase boundary. Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 71, 996-1007.

Phonetic symbols should be used in accordance with the guidelines recommended by the International Phonetic Association (1989 Kiel Convention, updated to 1993) unless there is a compelling reason to deviate from them.
The use of appendices is encouraged when the includion of materials and item-by-item results will facilitate evaluation of the results summarized in the body of the paper.
