Use when revising an EACL paper's prose for a task-first first page, a concrete page-one example, scoped LLM-era claims, quantified error analysis, an anonymity-safe voice, honest Limitations, and compression into the 8-page long or 4-page short content budget without pushing the argument into appendices.

# EACL Writing Style

Use this to revise an EACL paper so its contribution is legible fast and its claims are scoped.
EACL reviewers read many papers in a short window; the ones that land put the **task and the
result on the first page**, quantify rather than assert, and name their limits. Pair this with
the worked example in `../../resources/worked-examples/01-introduction.md`.

## The EACL first-page arc

1. **Task** — the specific problem, in the first breath, not "great progress in NLP."
2. **Gap** — why current methods fall short, each reason nameable.
3. **What we do** — the contribution, stated plainly.
4. **Measured result** — a number tied to a table, with variance.
5. **Honest scope** — what the result does and does not cover.
