\maketitle
\begin{abstract}
\textbf{English.}~This document contains the instructions for preparing the camera-ready manuscript for the proceedings of CLiC-it 2023. The document itself conforms to its own specifications, and is therefore an example of what your manuscript should look like. These instructions should be used for both papers submitted for review and for final versions of accepted papers.
\end{abstract}
\section{Introduction}
The following instructions are directed to authors of papers submitted
to CLiC-it 2023 or accepted for publication in its proceedings. All
authors are required to adhere to these specifications. Authors are
required to provide a Portable Document Format (PDF) version of their
papers, \textbf{as well as the \LaTeX\ source code}. The proceedings are designed for printing on A4 paper.
\section{General Instructions}
Manuscripts must be in two-column format. Exceptions to the
two-column format include the title, authors' names and complete
addresses, which must be centered at the top of the first page, and
any full-width figures or tables (see the guidelines in \S\ ~\ref{ssec:first}). {\bf Type single-spaced.} Start all
pages directly under the top margin. See the guidelines later
regarding formatting the first page. The manuscript should be
printed single-sided and its length
should not exceed the maximum page limit described in Section~\ref{sec:ceur-specs}.
{\bf Do not number the pages}. This can be obtained by using the following command in the header of the document:
\begin{quote}
\begin{verbatim}
\pagenumbering{gobble}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
\subsection{Electronically-available Resources}
Your PDF can be prepared using \LaTeX\ with
the CLiC-it 2023 style file (clic2023.sty, adapted
from the official ACL 2014 style file) and the
ACL bibliography style (acl.bst).
{You can alternatively use Microsoft Word
to produce your PDF file. In this case, we strongly
recommend the use of the Word template file
(clic2023.odt) on the CLiC-it 2023 website. }
\subsection{Format of Electronic Manuscript}
\label{sect:pdf}
For the production of the electronic manuscript you must use Adobe's
Portable Document Format (PDF). PDF files are usually produced from
\LaTeX\ using the \textit{pdflatex} command. If your version of
\LaTeX\ produces Postscript files, you can convert these into PDF
using \textit{ps2pdf} or \textit{dvipdf}. On Windows, you can also use
Adobe Distiller or PDFCreator to generate PDF.
Please make sure that your PDF file includes all the necessary fonts
(especially tree diagrams, symbols, and fonts with Asian
characters). When you print or create the PDF file, there is usually
an option in your printer setup to include none, all or just
non-standard fonts. Please make sure that you select the option of
including ALL the fonts. \textbf{Before sending it, test your PDF by
printing it from a computer different from the one where it was
created.} Moreover, some word processors may generate very large PDF
files, where each page is rendered as an image. Such images may
reproduce poorly. In this case, try alternative ways to obtain the
PDF. One way on some systems is to install a driver for a postscript
printer, send your document to the printer specifying ``Output to a
file'', then convert the file to PDF.
It is of utmost importance to specify the \textbf{A4 format} (21 cm
x 29.7 cm) when formatting the paper. Print-outs of the PDF file on A4
paper should be identical to the hardcopy version. If you cannot
meet the above requirements about the production of your
electronic submission, please contact the publication chairs
as soon as possible.
\subsection{Layout}
\label{ssec:layout}
Format manuscripts two columns to a page, in the manner these
instructions are formatted. The exact dimensions for a page on A4
paper are:
\begin{itemize}
\item Left and right margins: 2.5 cm
\item Top margin: 2.5 cm
\item Bottom margin: 2.5 cm
\item Column width: 7.7 cm
\item Column height: 24.7 cm
\item Gap between columns: 0.6 cm
\end{itemize}
\noindent Papers should not be submitted on any other paper size.
If you cannot meet the above requirements about the production of your electronic submission, please contact the publication chairs above as soon as possible.
\subsection{Fonts}
For reasons of uniformity, Adobe's {\bf Times Roman} font should be
used. In \LaTeX2e{} this is accomplished by putting
\begin{quote}
\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage{times}
\usepackage{latexsym}
\end{verbatim}
\end{quote}
in the preamble. If Times Roman is unavailable, use {\bf Computer
Modern Roman} (\LaTeX2e{}'s default). Note that the latter is about
10\% less dense than Adobe's Times Roman font.

\end{table}
\subsection{Language}
\label{ssec:lang}
Manuscripts can be written {\bf either in Italian or English}. It is
advised to supplement characters and terms not belonging to the
chosen language with appropriate transliterations and/or translations
since not all readers understand all such characters and terms.
Inline transliteration or translation can be represented in
the order of: original-form transliteration ``translation''.
\subsection{The First Page}
\label{ssec:first}
\textbf{Center the title, author's name(s) and affiliation(s) across both
columns.} Do not use footnotes for affiliations. Do not include the
paper ID number assigned during the submission process. Use the
two-column format only when you begin the abstract.
{\bf Title}: Place the title centered at the top of the first page, in
a 15-point bold font. (For a complete guide to font sizes and styles,
see Table~\ref{font-table}) Long titles should be typed on two lines
without a blank line intervening. Approximately, put the title at 2.5
cm from the top of the page, followed by a blank line, then the
author's names(s), and the affiliation on the following line. Do not
use only initials for given names (middle initials are allowed). Do
not format surnames in all capitals (e.g., use ``Schlangen'' not
``SCHLANGEN''). Do not format title and section headings in all
capitals as well except for proper names (such as ``BLEU'') that are
conventionally in all capitals. The affiliation should contain the
author's complete address, and if possible, an electronic mail
address. Start the body of the first page 7.5 cm from the top of the
page.
The title, author names and addresses should be completely identical
to those entered to the electronical paper submission website in order
to maintain the consistency of author information among all
publications of the conference. If they are different, the publication
chairs may resolve the difference without consulting with you; so it
is in your own interest to double-check that the information is
consistent.
{\bf Abstract}: \label{ssec:abs} Type the abstract at the beginning of the first
column. The width of the abstract text should be smaller than the
width of the columns for the text in the body of the paper by about
0.6 cm on each side. Center the word {\bf Abstract} in a 12 point bold
font above the body of the abstract. The abstract should be a concise
summary of the general thesis and conclusions of the paper. It should
be no longer than 200 words. The abstract text should be in 10 point font. {\bf If the contribution is written in Italian, authors are asked to write the abstract both in Italian and English}, otherwise the abstract should be only in English.
{\bf Text}: Begin typing the main body of the text immediately after
the abstract, observing the two-column format as shown in
the present document. Do not include page numbers.
{\bf Indent} when starting a new paragraph. Use 11 points for text and
subsection headings, 12 points for section headings and 15 points for
the title.
\subsection{Sections}
{\bf Headings}: Type and label section and subsection headings in the
style shown on the present document. Use numbered sections (Arabic
numerals) in order to facilitate cross references. Number subsections
with the section number and the subsection number separated by a dot,
in Arabic numerals. Do not number subsubsections.
{\bf Citations}: Citations within the text appear in parentheses
as~\cite{hack2011libera} or, if the author's name appears in the text
itself, as Hack~\shortcite{hack2011libera}. Append lowercase letters
to the year in cases of ambiguity. Treat double authors as
in~\cite{jurafsky2012natural}, but write as in~\cite{cohn2020proceedings} when more than two authors are involved. Collapse multiple citations as
in~\cite{cohn2020proceedings,hack2011libera,jurafsky2012natural}. Also refrain from using full citations as sentence constituents. We suggest that instead of
\begin{quote}
``\cite{hack2011libera} showed that ...''
\end{quote}
you use
\begin{quote}
``Hack \shortcite{hack2011libera} showed that ...''
\end{quote}
If you are using the provided \LaTeX{} and Bib\TeX{} style files, you
can use the command \verb|\newcite| to get ``author (year)'' citations.
As reviewing will {\bf not} be double-blind, the submitted version of the
papers {\bf should include the authors' names and affiliations} and self-references
are allowed.
\textbf{References}: Gather the full set of references together under
the heading {\bf References}; place the section before any Appendices,
unless they contain references. Arrange the references alphabetically
by first author, rather than by order of occurrence in the text.
Provide as complete a citation as possible, using a consistent format,
such as the one for {\em Computational Linguistics\/} or the one in the
{\em Publication Manual of the American
Psychological Association\/}. Use of full names for
authors rather than initials is preferred. A list of abbreviations for common computer science journals can be found in the ACM
{\em Computing Reviews} \newcite{ACM:83}.
The \LaTeX{} and Bib\TeX{} style files provided roughly fit the
American Psychological Association format, allowing regular citations,
short citations and multiple citations as described above.
{\bf Appendices}: Appendices, if any, directly follow the text and the
references (but see above). Letter them in sequence and provide an
informative title: {\bf Appendix A. Title of Appendix}.
\subsection{Footnotes}
{\bf Footnotes}: Put footnotes at the bottom of the page and use 10
points text. They may be numbered or referred to by asterisks or other
symbols.\footnote{This is how a footnote should appear.} Footnotes
should be separated from the text by a line.\footnote{Note the line
separating the footnotes from the text.}
\subsection{Graphics}
{\bf Illustrations}: Place figures, tables, and photographs in the
paper near where they are first discussed, rather than at the end, if
possible. Wide illustrations may run across both columns. Color
illustrations are discouraged, unless you have verified that
they will be understandable when printed in black ink.
{\bf Captions}: Provide a caption for every illustration; number each one
sequentially in the form: ``Figure 1. Caption of the Figure.'' ``Table 1.
Caption of the Table.'' Type the captions of the figures and
tables below the body, using 11 point text.
\section{CEUR Specifications}
\label{sec:ceur-specs}
All papers may consist of up to {\bf 5 pages of content}, references excluded. Papers that do not conform to the specified length and formatting requirements may be
rejected without review.
Proceedings shall be submitted to CEUR-WS.org for online publication. Note that CEUR-WS distinguish between regular papers \textbf{(at least 25,000 characters, spaces and references included)}, and short papers (at least 12,500 characters).
25,000 characters correspond to about 5-6 pages with the CLiC-it 2023 style.
To be sure that your paper is considered as a long paper in the Proceedings, you should also check that the camera-ready version of the paper complies with this requirement. In case your paper does not reach 25,000 characters, it will simply be considered as a short paper in the Proceedings. However, there are no other differences with regular papers.
