Stylesheet following the Generic Style Rules for linguistics.

This stylesheet is based on the Unified Style Sheet for Linguistics, which already has a CSL stylesheet. However there are several significant differences, described in footnotes 18-21 of the Generic Style Rules PDF:

  1. Dissertations/Theses are formatted differently
  2. Contributor names are always "Surname, Given Name" rather than alternating to "Given Name Surname" for non-first authors
  3. Every contributor name in a list is separated by "&", rather than only the last two
  4. Surnames with prefixes such as van or de are alphabetized by prefix instead of by the main part

Also, section 16.3 of the Generic Style Rules document describe placing some parts of the bibliography entry at the end in parentheses, which was unclear or unspecified in the Unified Style Sheet. I also cleaned up some things that seemed awkward.

Thank you!

generic-style-rules: cleanup and macro "extra" 
- locale substitutions are limited to English
- remove logically impossible else clause under "secondary-contributors"
- add necessary prefix on recipient macro, under "contributors"
- fix hardcoded locale-dependent access date format, under "access"
- fix hardcoded "vol." under "locators-chapter"
- whitespace issues under "locators-article"
- move suffix="." from bibliography layout to the top-level group

New macro "extra" includes parenthetical info at end of bib entry:
- thesis type from "issue" macro
- "description" macro
- speech event info from "issue" macro
- "secondary-contributors" macro
- "access" macro

Awesome! You just created a pull request to the Citation Styles Language styles repository. One of our human volunteers will try to get in touch soon (usually within a week). In the meantime, I will run some automated checks. You should be notified of the results in a few minutes.

If you haven't done so yet, please make sure your style validates and follows all our other Style Requirements.

To update this pull request, visit the "Files changed" tab above, and click on the pencil icon (see below) in the top-right corner of your style to start editing.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment and we'll get back to you. While we usually respond in English, feel free to write in whatever language you're most comfortable.

Thanks! (it does seem a bit redundant to have a "unified" and "generic" style sheet for linguistics, though, especially if they're almost identical)
