Formatting requirements

• Page format: A4; margins: 2 cm on all sides; font: Times New Roman; font size: 14 pt; style: normal; line spacing: 1.5; paragraph indentation: 1 cm (automatic); the text should be typed without hyphenation.
• Illustrative material should be printed in italics without underlining or quotation marks; the unit under study should be highlighted in bold italics; explanations of individual words and concepts should be placed in quotation marks «...», while the lexical meaning of a word should be indicated in semantic quotation marks ‘…’; references to illustrative sources should be provided in parentheses (T. Shevchenko).
• A clear distinction must be made between the dash (–) and the hyphen (-); quotation marks should be used only in the format «» («text»). Abbreviations such as etc., initials with surnames (e.g., T. H. Shevchenko), page references (p. 34), and place names (e.g., Vinnytsia) should be typed using a non-breaking space (Ctrl + Shift + Space).

To avoid unnecessary spacing, the “Show/Hide formatting marks” function should be used.

• Quotation marks «...» should be used in the text. If both internal and external quotation marks occur, the quotation should be formatted as follows: «…“…”…».
• Illustrations (diagrams, graphs, charts, etc.) should be numbered within the article and accompanied by captions placed below them (e.g., Fig. 1. Psychological Characteristics of the Character). Tables should also be numbered within the article and provided with titles placed above the table in the center.

Sequence of Structural Elements of the Article:

• first line – UDC code (bold, left-aligned);

In-text Citation Format

[5, p. 8] – reference to a specific page;

[5; 8; 10] – reference to several sources.
