Preparation of Abstracts
American Delegation
XV International Congress of Slavists

The abstract and the written paper must be in complementary languages-one in a Slavic language, the other in English, French, or German. In the typical case, the written paper will be in English and the abstract in a Slavic language. The abstract will be reproduced by the Macedonian Committee of Slavists in a one-volume compilation of abstracts that will be distributed at the Congress. For this reason, it is crucial that you follow to the letter all formatting instructions below.

• Margins. Margins should be 1.25 in. on the left, and 1.00 in. on the right, top, and bottom.
• Spacing. The abstract (and the abstract alone, not the paper) should be single-spaced.
• Font size. The text should be produced in 12-point font size.
• Justification. The text should be left-justified without right justification.
• Indention. The first line of each paragraph should be indented .40 in.
• Layout. On successive lines, please adhere to the following layout:
• center the title (most commonly English, French, or German)
• center the equivalent complementary title (most commonly Slavic)
• center the author's name
• center the institutional affiliation
• skip a line
• begin the body of the abstract, left-justified. References, if necessary, should be incorporated into the narrative, i.e. no footnotes.

Three copies of the abstract should be sent no later than April 15, 2011, to:

Prof. Michael S. Flier, Chairman
American Committee of Slavists
