% MfM guidelines set 12pt as a minimum font size:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
% Choosing a font which supports IPA:
% Doulos SIL supports IPA but not bold or italic; an alternative for bold and italic text is provided with Times New Roman, which does not support IPA however
% IPA- and bold/italic-compatible fonts which can be used instead:
% Charis SIL, CMU Bright, CMU Concrete, CMU Sans Serif, CMU Serif, Cousine, DejaVu Sans, Tinos (almost full IPA), Noto Sans (partially), Noto Serif (partially), Arimo (partially), Cardo (partially), DejaVu Serif (partially), EB Garamond (partially), Fira Sans (partially), Garamond Libre (partially), Inter (partially), Junicode (partially), Lato (partially), Libertinus Sans (partially), Libertinus Serif (partially), STIX (partially)

% For bibliographic references:
% Uses the Linguistic Society of America (LSA)-based sp citation style from S&P. Last names such as 'van Beethoven' will be ranked alphabetically as B-initial unless they are put in between curly brackets in references.bib
\usepackage[sectionbib]{natbib}
\bibpunct{(}{)}{;}{a}{}{,}
\setcitestyle{notesep={: }}
\usepackage{bibentry}% allows for the use of \nobibliography{}
% For the margins on the sides of the page:
% 2.5cm = 0.984252 inch, so 2.5cm allows for smaller margins than 1 inch
% A4 allows for a larger page area than US letter, so A4 is chosen
\usepackage[a4paper, margin=2.5cm]{geometry}
% Allows to include images and to wrap them next to the flowing text:
% Images must be situated in the folder Images
\usepackage{graphicx, wrapfig}
\graphicspath{ {./Images/} }
% Allows to use colours:
% Sets the colour of links within the document and towards web pages
\usepackage{xcolor}
\definecolor{customcol}{RGB}{33, 45, 141}
% For linguistic glosses and examples:
\usepackage{gb4e}
% To put text in two columns:
\usepackage{multicol}
% This defines the environment itemize* in which the spacing between items can be customised (default = 1pt):
\newenvironment{itemize*}%
{\begin{itemize}%
\setlength{\itemsep}{2pt}%
\setlength{\parskip}{1pt}}%
