While compiling this volume we have incurred a great number of debts that we wish to acknowledge. First of all, we are indebted to E. F. Konrad Koerner, Editor of "Current Issues in Linguistic Theory", and Anke de Looper, at Benja mins, for their moral support and professional advice. Furthermore, we would hereby once again express our great debt of gratitude to the scholars who have generously given of their time and expertise to review and comment upon the contributions anonymously: Michel Achard, Angeliki Atha- nasiadou, Lawrence Barsalaou, Hans Basboll, William Botha, Joan Bybee, Gene Casad, Alan Cienki, Kenneth Cook, Alan Cruse, Bob de Jonge, Paul Deane, Peter Denny, René Dirven, Lena Ekberg, Michele Emanatian, Dirk Geeraerts, Adele Goldberg, Louis Goossens, Kaoru Horie, Richard Hudson, Laura Janda, Theo Janssen, Tania Kouteva, Barabara Lewandodowska-Tomaszczyk, Guenter Radden, Richard Rhodes, Carlo Serra-Borneto, Soteria Svorou, Karen van Hoek, Willy van Langendonck, Arie Verhagen, and Co Vet. Of course, we also thank the authors, who responded with such great profes sionalism to the requests that we made of them, and Birgit Smieja, who formatted the papers and designed the layout of the book. And last but not least, we would like to express our sincere thanks to René Dirven, whose unrelenting energy and support showed once again when he helped with general matters relating to getting the three volumes published and with spe cific matters by proofreading a great number of the articles.
