Editorial policy: JIRC is a refereed journal. Original manuscripts will be considered for publication. Work that has been published or is being considered for publication elsewhere will not be accepted. Manuscripts that appear to meet the goals of the Journal will be reviewed by two or more independent reviewers before a decision is made on publication.

Submission: Original articles may be submitted in English, French, Spanish, or Portuguese. Manuscripts must conform to the style-guide specified below, and must contain an abstract and a list of key words. Manuscripts in digital format only (compatible with Microsoft Word or compatible file) should be sent to the Editor's e-mail address.

Style: JIRC uses the new style guide adopted by the Linguistics Society of America (Unified Style Sheet for Linguistic Journals): https://www.linguisticsociety.org/sites/default/files/style-sheet_0.pdf

Corrections: Authors are asked to check their manuscripts very carefully before submitting them to prevent delays at the proof stage. Authors should make every effort to prepare their manuscripts very cleanly and have as few corrections on any typed page as possible. Please keep the Editors informed of your whereabouts so that proofs can be sent to you. Authors will need to correct them and return them to the Editor within twenty-one days of receipt.

Phonetic transcriptions should, wherever possible, employ the symbols and conventions of the International Phonetic Alphabet. The transcription should be no narrower than is necessary. Permission.
