\section{Introduction}
The following instructions are directed to authors of papers submitted to CLEAR-TEXT or accepted for publication in its proceedings. \textbf{The proceedings are designed for printing on A4 paper.}
Any additional specifications regarding the submission process (including types of submissions, length and submission deadlines) will be made available on the CLEAR-TEXT website: \url{ https://sites.google.com/view/clear-text/home}. Check the website regularly for updates.
\section{General instructions}
The electronic manuscript must be submitted in Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF). On MS Word or LibreOffice, you can export the file as a PDF document from the ''File'' menu. This document contains the general guidelines on the format of the CLEAR-TEXT submissions.
Please make sure that your PDF file includes all the necessary fonts (particularly tree diagrams, symbols and fonts with special characters).
\paragraph{\LaTeX-specific details:}
The templates include the \LaTeX2e{} source (\texttt{\small clib.tex}),
the \LaTeX2e{} style file used to format it (\texttt{\small clib\_acl.sty}),
a bibliography style file (\texttt{\small clib\_acl\_natbib.bst}) and
an example bibliography (\texttt{\small clib.bib}).
\section{Formatting Instructions}
Manuscripts must be in two-column format. Exceptions to the two-column format include the title, authors' names and complete addresses, which must be centered at the top of the first page, and any full-width figures or tables (see the relevant guidelines).
Start all pages directly under the top margin. Pages could be numbered in the version submitted for review, but \textbf{pages should not be numbered in the camera-ready version}. The page numbering will be handled by the editors of the Proceedings. Please do not place footers or headers.
\paragraph{\LaTeX-specific details:}
The style files will generate page numbers when {\small\verb|\aclfinalcopy|} is commented out, and remove them otherwise.
\subsection{Layout}
\label{ssec:layout}
Format manuscripts two columns to a page, in the manner these
instructions are formatted.
The exact dimensions for a page on A4 paper are:
\begin{itemize}
\item Left and right margins: 2.5 cm
\item Top margin: 2.5 cm
\item Bottom margin: 2.5 cm
\item Column width: 7.7 cm
\item Column height: 24.7 cm
\item Gap between columns: 0.6 cm
\end{itemize}
\noindent Papers should not be submitted on any other paper size.
If you cannot meet the above requirements about the production of your electronic submission, please contact members of the Organising Committee before submission.
\subsection{Fonts}
For reasons of uniformity, \textbf{Times Roman}, \textbf{Times New Roman} or \textbf{Computer Modern Roman} fonts should be used.
Table~\ref{font-table} specifies what font sizes and styles must be used for each type of text in the manuscript.
\begin{table}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{lrl}
\hline \textbf{Type of Text} & \textbf{Font Size} & \textbf{Style} \\ \hline
paper title & 15 pt & bold \\
author names & 12 pt & bold \\
author affiliation & 12 pt & \\
the word ``Abstract'' & 12 pt & bold \\
section titles & 12 pt & bold \\
subsection titles & 11 pt & bold \\
document text & 11 pt &\\
captions & 10 pt & \\
abstract text & 10 pt & \\
bibliography & 10 pt & \\
footnotes & 9 pt & \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\caption{\label{font-table} Font guide. }
\end{table}
\subsection{Ruler}
A printed ruler (line numbers in the left and right margins of the article) should be presented in the version submitted for review, so that reviewers may comment on particular lines in the paper without circumlocution.
The presence or absence of the ruler should not change the appearance of any other content on the page. The camera ready copy should not contain a ruler.
\paragraph{\LaTeX-specific details:}
The style files will generate the ruler when {\small\verb|\aclfinalcopy|} is commented out, and remove it otherwise.
\subsection{The first page}
\label{ssec:title-authors}
The title should be in a 15 pt bold font. (For a complete guide to font sizes and styles, see Table \ref{font-table}). Use title-case capitalisation. Long titles should be typed on two lines without a blank line intervening. Put the title at 2.5 cm from the top of the page, followed by a blank line, then the author(s)' name(s), and the affiliation(s) on the following line.
In case of multiple authors, if the affiliation of all or part of the authors is the same, you can collapse the respective Affiliation line(s). Only the first letter of surnames should be capitalised.
The affiliation should contain the author's home institution and an electronic mail address. In case of same-domain emails of multiple authors, they can be collapsed as indicated \{email1,email2,email3\}@domain.com.
Center the title, author's name(s) and affiliation(s) across both columns. Do not use footnotes for affiliations.
Make sure that the title, author(s)' name(s) and affiliation(s) are identical to those entered in the electronic paper submission website.
\subsection{Abstract}
Use two-column format when you begin the abstract. Type the abstract at the beginning of the first column. The width of the abstract text should be smaller than the width of the columns for the text in the body of the paper by 0.6 cm on each side.
Center the word \textbf{Abstract} in a 12 point bold font above the body of the abstract. The abstract should be a concise summary of the general thesis and conclusions of the paper. It should be no longer than 250 words.
The abstract text should be in 10 point font.
\subsection{Sections and subsections}
Sections and subsections should be numbered automatically using the respective heading styles, as shown in this document.
\subsection{Headings}
Type and label section and subsection headings using the styles indicated in the present document. Use numbered sections (Arabic numerals) in order to facilitate cross-references. The general format is to number subsections with the section number and the subsection number separated by a dot, in Arabic
numerals.
\subsection{Text}
Leave a blank line between the abstract and the main body of the paper.
Indent 0.4 cm when starting a new paragraph.
\subsection{Appendices}
Appendices, if any, directly follow the text and the references to the exception of the cases when they themselves contain references (see below the section on References and citing). Letter them in sequence and provide an informative title, e.g., \textbf{Appendix A. Title of Appendix}.
\subsection{Tables and graphics}
Place figures, tables, and photographs in the paper near where they are first discussed, rather than at the end, if possible.
Both black and white and colour images and diagrams are acceptable.
Provide a caption for every illustration or table; these should be numbered automatically in sequence in the following format: ''Figure 1: Caption of the Figure'', ''Table 1: Caption of the Table''. Type the captions of the figures and tables below the body.
\begin{table}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{lc}
\hline
\textbf{Command} & \textbf{Output}\\
\hline
\verb|{\"a}| & {\"a} \\
\verb|{\^e}| & {\^e} \\
\verb|{\`i}| & {\`i} \\
\verb|{\.I}| & {\.I} \\

\subsection{Footnotes}
Put footnotes at the bottom of the page in a 9 pt regular font and number them in sequence\footnote{Footnote goes here.}. Note that the footnote is separated from the text by a line.
\subsection{Hyperlinks}
Within-document and external hyperlinks are indicated with Dark Blue text, Color Hex \#000099. Example: \url{http://dcl.bas.bg/clib/}.
\section{References and citing}
\subsection{Citations}
The following rules apply for citations:
\begin{itemize}
\item Citations within the text appear in parentheses as in \citep{Koeva2008}. Append lowercase letters (a, b, etc.) to the year in cases you cite more than one work published in the same year by the same author \citep{Fellbaum1999a} and \citep{Fellbaum1999}.
\item Treat double authors as in \citep{Pala2007}.
\item Write \citep{Miller1990} when more than two authors are involved.
\item Multiple citations can be introduced in the same parentheses as in \citep{Fellbaum1999a,Miller1990}.
\item For direct quotations, include a page number following the year and separated by it using a colon, as indicated in \citep[35]{Koeva2008}.
\item Use a dash to cite page ranges, as in \citep[35--37]{Koeva2008}.
\item For inline citing only the year should be in parentheses (and possibly page numbers) such as in ``\citet[35--37]{Koeva2008} argues that ...''.
\end{itemize}
References should be compliant with the Harvard-style referencing format. Both full first names of authors and initials are acceptable. Please make sure that you use title-case capitalisation for the titles included in the bibliography items.
List all references together in a separate unnumbered section under the heading \textbf{References}; place the section before any Appendices, unless they contain references. Arrange the references alphabetically by author's family name, followed by the year of publication. Provide as complete citations as possible.
Please refer to the References section below for examples on how to describe references of:
manuals \citep{Christ1994}, technical reports \cite{Briscoe2006}, electronic sources \citep{EAGLES1996}, etc.
\paragraph{\LaTeX-specific details:}
We encourage you to use the natbib styles.
You can use the command {\small\verb|\citet|} (cite in text) to get inline citations of the form ``author (year)'' such as \citet{Koeva2008}.
You can use the command {\small\verb|\citep|} (cite in parentheses) to get ``(author, year)'' citations as in \citep{Koeva2008}.
You can use the command {\small\verb|\citealp|} (alternative cite without parentheses) to get ``author year'' citations (which is useful for using citations within parentheses, as in \citealp{Koeva2008}).
\subsection{References}
Gather the full set of references together under the heading \textbf{References}; place the section before any Appendices.
Arrange the references alphabetically by authors' surnames, rather than by order of occurrence in the text.
Provide as complete a citation as possible, using a consistent format. Use full names for authors, not just initials.
\paragraph{\LaTeX-specific details:}
The \LaTeX{} and Bib\TeX{} style files provided roughly follow the American Psychological Association format.
If your own bib file is named \texttt{\small clib.bib}, then placing the following before any appendices in your \LaTeX{} file will generate the references section for you:
\begin{quote}\small
\verb|\bibliographystyle{clib_acl_natbib}|\\
\verb|\bibliography{clib}|
\end{quote}
\section{Anonymity}
As reviewing will be double-blind, papers submitted for review should not include any author information (such as names or affiliations). Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's identity should be avoided.
Please do not use anonymous citations and do not include acknowledgements.
\textbf{Papers that do not conform to these requirements may be rejected without review.}
Any preliminary versions of submitted papers should be listed in the submission form and not in the review version of the paper. Once a paper has been accepted to the conference, the camera-ready version of the paper should include the authors' names and affiliations, and is allowed to use self-references, acknowledgements and links to repositories, resources, etc.
\paragraph{\LaTeX-specific details:}
For an anonymised submission, ensure that {\small\verb|\aclfinalcopy|} at the top of this document is commented out. For a camera-ready submission, ensure that {\small\verb|\aclfinalcopy|} at the top of this document is not commented out.
\section*{Acknowledgments}
The acknowledgments should go immediately before the references. Do not number the acknowledgments section.
\textbf{Do not include this section when submitting your paper for review.}
\bibliographystyle{clib_acl_natbib}
\bibliography{clib}
\begin{appendices}
\section{First appendix}
Appendices follow the References section and usually present relevant data and additional evidence which are large and will impede reading if included directly in the text.
