LaTeX is the solution ! It offers automatic alignment between glosses and forms in example sentences, robust crossreferences, the ability to control a whole range of options in fonts that you have no access to in word, infinite possibilities for diagrams...

I love this kind of paper.

A seemingly niche topicโ€”which the authors are genuine experts inโ€”that regardless reveals some more fundamental ideas about how humakind operates. (1/2)
