SprachwissenschaftThe Mechanics of Style
Style refers to the guidelines and rules set by publishers to establish clear, concise writing across fields
Style manuals across fields will vary, but when there is a disagreement between the Publication Manual and another style guide, the Publication Manual is favored for APA publications
Abbreviations & Acronyms - Avoid acronyms, except for long, familiar terms (NASA)
- Explain what an acronym means the first time it occurs EX: American Psychological Association (APA)
- If an abbreviation is commonly used as a word, it does not require explanation (e.g., IQ, REM, ESP)
- The following Latin abbreviations should not be used outside parenthetical comments:
- cf. [use compare]
- e.g. [use for example]
- etc. [use and so forth]
- i.e. [use that is]
- viz. [use namely]
- vs. [use versus]
- Use periods when making an abbreviation within a reference (e.g., Vol. 1, p. 9, 2nd ed.)
- Do not use periods within:
- Degree titles (e.g., PhD)
- Organization titles (e.g., APA)
- Measurements (e.g., lb, ft, s), except inches (in.)
- Use s for second, m for meter
- Do not use periods within:
- To form plurals of abbreviations, add s without an apostrophe (e.g., PhDs, IQs, vols., eds.)
- Use standard abbreviations for measurements; do not add an s to make it plural (e.g., 100 meters is 100 m)
- Page is abbreviated p.; when referring to several pages in a reference or citation, use the abbreviation pp. (with a period after it and a space after the period)
- Do not use the abbreviation pp. for magazine or journal citations; just give the numbers themselves
- Do use pp. for citations of encyclopedia entries, multipage newspaper articles, and chapters or articles in edited books
- Use two-letter postal codes for U.S. state names (e.g., GA)
- Abbreviations often used in APA journals
- Many abbreviations not found in the dictionary are used when writing for APA journals; such abbreviations should be explained when first used EX: Conditional stimulus (CS), reaction time (RT), short-term memory (STM)
- Do not use S, E, or O for subject, experiment, and observer
- Capitalize words at the beginning of a sentence, major words in titles and headings, names and proper nouns, nouns that denote a specific place in a numbered series, groups or conditions in experiments, names of factors, variables and effects, and test titles
- Do not capitalize names of hypotheses, procedures, theories, models, laws, or generic test titles
- Hyphenate compound words according to the Merriam-Websterâs Collegiate Dictionary 11th edition, using the proper form of the word (i.e., noun, adjective, or verb)
- Use a hyphen if compound adjectives (describing a noun) precede the term EX: A short-term negative impact with acute effects on wildlife is generally unlikely, but evidence of abundance of cadmium in the environment indicates the potential for chronic problems.
- If the compound adjective comes after the term or noun, do not use a hyphen EX: The acute effects of cadmium on wildlife are chronic and are not short term.
- If the meaning of a compound adjective is unclear without a hyphen, use a hyphen EX: The German-language students showed more interest in learning about Swedish politics than other groups. In this context, the hyphen works to show readers that this is a group of students learning German. EX: The German language students showed more interest in learning about Swedish politics than other groups. In this context, the lack of hyphen shows that this is a group of German students who are in a language class.
- Hyphenate temporary compounds, which are words that occur together, often in the context of the paper alone, but are not listed in the dictionary EX: The critical organ involved in cadmium-toxic renal failure is the kidney.
- Use hyphens if a word would be confused for another word without the hyphen EX: Re-sign has a different meaning than resign.
- Use hyphens with most prefixes, especially those that modify numbers, abbreviations, and proper nouns EX: Post-Victorian, pre-1950, pre-NASA space travel
- All nouns and adjectives that begin with self should be hyphenated EX: Self-employed, self-administered
- Retain hyphens in a list if the list contains two or more compound modifiers EX: 6-, 7-, and 8-year-old subjects
- Do not hyphenate adverbs that end with ly, fractions that are written as nouns, chemical terms, foreign adjectives, and adverbs
- Use italics for titles of books, periodicals, films, videos, television shows, microfilm publications, volume numbers in a reference list, and words that could be misread
- Use italics to introduce technical or key terms
- Do not use italics for foreign phrases and abbreviations common in English, chemical terms, nonstatistical subscripts to statistical symbols or mathematical expressions, Greek letters, mere emphasis, letters used as abbreviations, and trigonometric terms
- Use numerals for:
- 10 and up
- Graphical displays
- Units of measurement
- Mathematical or statistical functions
- Exact scores, ages, dates, and times
- Use words for:
- Numbers at the beginning of sentences
- Common fractions
- Usage that is universal
- Combinations of words and numerals may be used in situations to increase readability EX: Eight 10-point scales were used.
- Use Arabic instead of Roman numerals unless Roman numerals are part of a known terminology
- Use metric units based on the International System of Units
- Provides direction and cadence within a sentence and is the essence of coherent writing (see also English Grammar & Punctuation QuickStudy gu...
