Typographical Conventions
-
The romanisation of Japanese follows the Hepburn system
-
When an example in Japanese is provided, italics indicate the Japanese text transcribed in Latin alphabet, whilst ‘single quotation marks’ are used for the translation
-
‘Single quotation marks’ are also used for technical terms/categories and to highlight words whose meaning may be problematic or opaque
-
Boldface is used to highlight features in some tables and examples
-
All examples are reproduced faithfully to the original, including non-standard spellings, punctuation and so on, with the exception of line- and sentence-breaks, which have been removed for reasons of clarity and brevity
-
Sections deleted from long examples are indicated via […]
