Individual skill

lang-tables-figures

Use when preparing the exhibits of a Language (LSA) manuscript — numbered examples, Leipzig-convention interlinear glosses, IPA transcription, tableaux/trees, and quantitative tables and figures. Language has specific conventions for linguistic examples that reviewers and typesetters enforce. Prepares exhibits; it does not generate data.

# Examples, Tables & Figures (lang-tables-figures)

In a linguistics paper the **numbered example** is the primary exhibit, and *Language* has firm
conventions for how examples, glosses, transcriptions, and quantitative displays are formatted. Getting
these right lets the paper read cleanly under double-anonymous review and pass into production without a
copyediting fight. Verify current specifics against the **Language Style Sheet** and the CUP/Overleaf
template before submission.

## When to trigger

- Formatting numbered examples, interlinear glosses, trees, tableaux, or IPA
- Building quantitative tables and figures from a model
- A reader said an example was mis-glossed, unreadable, or unnumbered
- Preparing figure captions and accessibility text
