        EMNLP/VLC Instruction for Authors

*************************************************************************


Authors must print the Copyright Transfer Agreement
at http://www.cis.udel.edu/%7Eacl2k/copyright.html,
complete it and return it to the SIGDAT secretary/treasurer
with their final camera-ready copies to reach the address below by
September 1 2000, 3PM EDT. A PDF version of the paper must also be
received by September 1 for inclusion in a CDROM including all
workshop and conference papers associated with ACL-2000.

Papers should be prepared according to the following guidelines:

   1. Final camera-ready paper length must not exceed 10 pages,
      although a paper length of 7-8 pages is strongly encouraged.
      Significant wasted space is not acceptable. If the 9th and 10th
      pages need to be used, they should contain at least a full
      column of text or figures.

   2. Papers must be printed on A4 paper, with approximately 1 inch
      margins and 11 point type.

      (a) if you are using latex, we have created a slightly modified
          version of colacl.sty that you used for your initial
          submission. The page is slightly narrower and taller,
          but the format is otherwise the same as your original
          submission and should accommodate approximately the
          same length of text. It can be downloaded from:

          http://nlp.cs.jhu.edu/~sigdat2k/sigdat2000.sty

          IF YOU ARE USING LATEX, PLEASE USE THIS UPDATED STYLE FILE.

      (b) Microsoft word users should modify their preliminary
          submission width and height to A4 size with 1-inch
          margins and 11 point type. If anyone wishes to volunteer
          a template for public use, please contact yarowsky@cs.jhu.edu.


      The paper should be in 2-column format. Title and author
      information should span both columns and appear centered
      at the top of the first page. Full-width figures and
      tables may be used if necessary.


   3. You must send us 2 (TWO) HARD COPIES of your final camera-ready
      copy printed on A4 paper. If you have serious problems locating
      A4 paper or printing on it, please contact yarowsky@cs.jhu.edu
      for help as soon as possible.

   4. DO NOT NUMBER YOUR PAGES ON THE FRONT - leave the bottom margin blank.

   5. Number the back of your pages VERY LIGHTLY in pencil at
      the bottom, and include the last name of the 1st author.

   6. Do not staple or paper clip your submissions. They should be
      loose in a relatively firm envelope to protect them.

   7. PDF copies of all papers must be submitted by September 1
      using the following URL (very similar to the original
      paper submission):

        http://nlp.cs.jhu.edu/~sigdat2k/finalpdf.html

      Those authors who are unable to generate PDF files should
      contact hinrich@groupfire.com for help with this process.

      Note: PDF copies are IN ADDITION TO the required hard copies.
            Both must be received for inclusion in the proceedings.


REMEMBER: TWO copies of your final, camera-ready paper must reach
          the SIGDAT secretary/treasurer in Maryland no later than
          September 1, 2000, 3 PM EDT.
