コメントの追加 [A5]: Regardless of the level of the heading, the font is bold (Times New Roman) for both the number and the heading that follows it.

Subdivisions of the main text are numbered as follows: “3. Heading numbers,” and “3.1 Exampleof a heading one level below Section” (without indentation) with an empty line above the heading (butwith none below it).
When referring to Sections in the body of the text, use expression such as “In Section 3” and “Asnoted in Section 3”.
3.1
Example of a heading one level below Section
The text begins on the next line after the heading.
3.2
Example of a heading one level below Section
The text begins on the next line after the heading.
4. Tables and figures
Consecutive numbers are assigned to tables and figures, and captions are required. The figure or table
itself is centered horizontally with respect to the line.

Captions are centered horizontally under figures

Figures, images, graphs, etc. in the manuscript will be published in black and white. However, incases where the Editorial Board has deemed it absolutely necessary, it may be possible to publish incolor. In this case, sufficient attention should be paid to the variety of colors used, and efforts should
be made to create figures that are easy to understand either in color or in black and white.
Furthermore, the author is responsible for any copyright processing necessitated by the reprintingof illustrations featured in other written works, and for licensing by related parties with regard to theuse or publication of data.

25. Presentation of example sentences
Leave single line spaces between the text and the examples. Consecutive numbers in round brackets
precede examples, and examples are left-aligned to these numbers without breaks or indentation.

6. Notes
Notes1 are to be endnotes numbered consecutively and grouped at the end of the paper. Alternatively,
the contents of notes may be listed as footnotes at the end of each page. Be aware that in the typesetting, the notes will appear as footnotes.2
7. Citing references
References are limited to only those works which have been cited or quoted in the text or notes, and are to
be grouped at the end of the paper. If applicable, sources for example sentences should appear at the endof the paper.
For citation of references in the text and in the notes, follow the practice such as “Sapir (1925)
notes that …”
For longer quotations, follow the practice exemplified below:

In the case of longer quotations, put a blank space between the quotation and the text both before
and after the quotation, and indent the quotation four spaces. There is no need to surround thequotation with quotation marks. (NINJAL Research Papers Editorial Board 2016: 6)
8. Conclusion
We hope that the above will prove to be an easy-to-understand reference for the composition of manuscripts.
