A mundane but highly effective writing tip is to avoid structures like “…) ( …” in your writing. For instance instead of
As argued by Chomsky & Halle (1968) (henceforth, SPE)…
you can (and should!) write
As argued by Chomsky & Halle (1968; henceforth, SPE)…
which I think you’ll agree Just Looks Better. A closely related trick is to avoid things like
The Greek letter Υ denotes /y/, /yː/…
and instead write
The Greek letter Υ denotes /y, yː/…
You can do this with phonemic forward slashes, phonetic square brackets, or the curly braces used to specify sets.
