This venue
A4 journal depth—not an 8-page *ACL long paper. Complements the ARR→commit conference path.
arXiv is allowed, but the review PDF must stay anonymous. Resubmission page limits follow the AE letter; appendix caps vary by category.
Length
Original submissions: 7–10 A4 content pages including appendices; references extra. A later policy often allows a small extra appendix (commonly 3 or 5 pages by category). Resubmissions follow the AE letter.
Review
Anonymous review. Number pages on submission; camera-ready drops them. Appendices must stay anonymous.
Typesetting
Use the official TACL A4 template and its bibliography style—not an *ACL conference kit. Watch hyperlink page-break issues in review; keep space for the camera-ready author block.
