===========================================

Submissions

===========================================



Submissions should follow the two-column format of ACL

proceedings. Each paper may consist of up to nine (9) pages of content

and one (1) extra page for references. Submissions should describe

original, unpublished work. Please use the official NAACL 2010 style

files. We reserve the right to reject submissions that do not conform

to these styles, including letter size and font size restrictions.



As reviewing will be blind, the paper should not include the authors'

names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the

author's identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...",

should be avoided. Instead, use citations such as "Smith previously

showed (Smith, 1991) ...". Papers that do not conform to these

requirements will be rejected without review. Separate identification

information is required, and will be part of the web submission

process.



Submission/reviewing will be electronic, managed by the START

system. The only accepted format for submitted papers is Adobe

PDF. Previous to submitting a paper you are required to submit an

abstract (by June 18, 2010). To submit the abstract, please follow

this link. You will receive a reference passcode that will allow you

to update the submission with the full paper (by June 25, 2010). Use

this link to do that.



Abstracts and paper submissions must be uploaded onto the system by

the submission deadlines. Papers submitted after that time will not be

reviewed.



Submissions presented at EMNLP should mainly contain new material that

has not been presented at any other meeting with publicly available

proceedings. Papers that have been or will be submitted to other

meetings or publications must disclose this information at submission

time. Please list all other meetings where the paper has been

submitted at the end of the abstract field on the submission site.
