Submission guidelines
What to submit
We accept papers in English and German related to theoretical and empirical work on language register. The content must be related to situational-functional variation, including guidelines, corpora publications and documentations aimed at register research. Submissions are highly encouraged from both members of the CRC 1412 Register and external, non-CRC members.
Formatting
Final publications in REALIS are formatted with LaTeX. We accept PDF for the initial submission, but the article will be typeset in LaTeX, so we strongly encourage authors to use LaTeX right from the beginning. All submissions must adhere to the guidelines and templates provided for publication.

Bibliographical information has to be submitted in BibTeX format.
