REFERENCES WITHIN THE TEXT

References within the text take the form Author–Date

1. in the text of the article:
• (Durand 1998, 75–78)
• «Durand (1998) supports the idea that…»
• «Durand also said (17–25) that…».
2. following a quotation:
• if the title is mentioned in the text (and also if it is repeated), indicate the pages only (245–46);
• if the title is not mentioned in the text, indicate the author's name and the pages (Cary 139);
• if only one author is quoted in the text, indicate the title and the page, without separating them by a comma (Comment faut–il traduire ? 25).
3. reference to an electronic document:
• indicate the number of the paragraph, if this occurs in the electronic version: (Neefs 2005, §5).
• indicate the page, if you refer to a PDF document: (Quintili 2006, 38).

QUOTATIONS

1. Short quotations, of a maximum of three lines, are inserted in the text, between inverted commas specific to the language of the article.
   Example for English:
   “Many a morning hath he there been seen, / With tears augmenting the fresh morning's dew” (Shakespeare 124).
2. Quotations longer than three lines:
• retreated, no inverted commas, line spacing – single.
• final punctation occurs before the reference in brackets.
• no indentation is applied to the body of the text that continues a retreated quotation if the paragraph is not complete.
  For example:
  Il faut surveiller le mur et suivre les ordres à la lettre. Être constamment aux aguets. Ne jamais commettre d'erreur. Toujours garder la mÊme distance entre les fondations et les pieds. Interdiction formelle de s'appuyer contre la surface des pierres. Et de mettre les mains dans les poches. Rester là, sans marcher, sans parler, sans fumer, sans rire, le fusil au poing, prêt à toute éventualité. (Brulotte 23)
3. Any intervention in the text of a quoatation (deletion, addition, replacement of letters or words) will be shown within square brackets: deletion of parts of the text: […].
   
   • follow the original punctuation, before and after the intervention in the text.
     For example:
     “Narratives, […], are dynamic entities; they change in subtle or radical ways as people experience and become exposed to new stories on a daily basis.” (Baker 3)
   • Single inverted commas are used at a secondary level, within double inverted commas: “Have you said ‘bizarre’?”
   • All quotations in other languages than the language of the article will be translated. The originals may be inserted in a footnote.

FOOTNOTES (inserted automatically)

• 10 Georgia; line spacing – single; justified.
• for notes: use automatic numbering (Insert / Reference / Footnote…)
• include only additional information in the footnotes, and not full bibliographic references. These are to be found in the references list, at the end of the article.
  For example:
  1. Mona Baker rightfully suggests that people's behaviour is guided by the stories they come to believe about the events in which they are embedded (2006, 3).
  2. The notion of “narrative” in Baker's book overlaps to some extent with Foucault's “discourse”.

REFERENCES
