Nierfeld Preface We are very pleased to dedicate this volume to Theo Vennemann gen. Nierfeld on the occasion of his 80th birthday. Linguistic preferences celebrates both Theo Vennemann the scholar and his scientific oeuvre. With contributions from lin- guists around the globe, this volume has arisen as a result of the high regard Theo Vennemann is held in. Indeed, it reflects just a glimpse of the impact Theo Vennemann has had on the field as a researcher, colleague, teacher, and mentor. We would like to thank all contributors and referees as well as the partici- pants of the international colloquium “Current aspects of preference theory: A symposium on the occasion of Theo Vennemann’s 80th birthday”, held at the LMU Munich. We are grateful to Birgit Sievert and Barbara Karlson from De Gruyter Mouton for their effort to make this volume possible as well as to the series editors Chiara Gianollo and Daniël Van Olmen.
