found a way to help me. With Prof. Lawler's help, I was given a proxy library card. It is this card that has made it possible for me to make use of the University computers, without this help, I would have been in great difficulty in writing my dissertation. My special thanks go to Mark Durie for sending me his grammar, his articles, and some other articles that have been very useful to me in writing my dissertation. I have profitted very much from the discussion that I had with him in Ann Arbor and from his comments on my earlier draft. For the financial support during my Master's program, I would like to thank the P.T.Caltex Indonesia. Thanks for all the pleasant trips and services in Rumbai and Jakarta during the months of preparation for my departure to the U.S. My Ph.D. Program has been sponsored by The Asia Foundation with the financial support of the Mobil Oil operating in Aceh. This includes the expenses for the six month's research in Aceh for this dissertation. For all this support, I would like to express my thanks to both the Asia Foundation and Mobil Oil. I am deeply grateful to Universitas Syiah Kuala in Banda Aceh for the leave of absence granted to me from 1981 to 1987. I would like to thank Prof. Dr.Ibrahim Hasan, MBA, the former Rector, and Prof. Dr. Abdullah Ali, the present Rector, who have helped find sponsors for me. I also would like to thank the Dean of Fakultas Keguruan and Ilmu Pendidikan for all kinds of supports given to me. iv

I wish to thank the University of Michigan computing centers for the facilities that I have been using, and for the good services from their staff. I also wish to thank the following persons who have devoted their time to me by engaging in conversations and telling me stories: Mami, Teh Jah, Abdul Wahai., Tgk. Gani, and Cutda Sapiah. Finally, my wife and my children, whom I have left for so long, deserved special thanks for their continuous encouragement, patience and deep understanding.
