naacl-writing-style
Use when revising the prose of a NAACL submission — scoping every claim to the languages and varieties actually tested, presenting non-English examples with glosses that carry the argument, writing a Limitations section that anticipates reviewers, and cutting to the ARR content-page budget without losing the linguistic substance.

# NAACL Writing Style
The house register at NAACL is precise about language and modest about
generality. The chapter's renaming to "Nations of the Americas" sharpened a
tendency its reviewers already had: sentences that quietly equate "language"
with "English" or "text" with "standardized text" get flagged, and claims
are expected to wear their linguistic scope on the surface.
## Scope discipline: say which languages, every time
The most common NAACL-bound prose failure is the unscoped universal:
