Among the deafened people who helped us we have particular debts to Ian Cowie, Wesley Kerr, Christine Kerr, Bob McCullough, Evelyn McCul- lough, Alice McWilliams, Bernie Smyth, Howard Stone, and representatives of the National Association of Deafened People. The work depended on co- operation from those who provide services to deafened people, especially David Adams, George Grindle, Mary Mitchell, Kathleen Rice and Brian Sym- ington. We re-ceived help of many forms from academic colleagues, notably Lorraine Gailey, Mark Haggard, David Hale, Harlan Lane, Carol McGuin- ness, Ann Moriarty, Billy Neil, Lindsay Patterson, Joe Perkell, Geoff Plant, Paul Quigley, Carol Sherrard, Gabrielle Semrau, and Karen Trew. Many stu- dents did work with us which made significant contribu-tions: Frances Bea- gon, Linda Boyd, Adrienne Brankin, Colette Davison, Michaela McDade, Sheelagh McKenna, Patricia Nicholl, Clare Sweeney, and John Wonnacott. Last but not least, we acknowledge the financial support provided by the Ec- onomic and Social Research Council of Great Britain, the Royal National In- stitute for the Deaf, the Trustees of Clive and Vera Ramaciotti, the Ulster In- stitute for the Deaf, The Wellcome Trust, and our employer the Queen's University of Belfast.
