viii Foreword<br />

and we are very grateful to senior members of <strong>the</strong> scholarly community, including<br />

of course <strong>the</strong> anonymous readers consulted by <strong>the</strong> Series Editor, for devoting so<br />

much of <strong>the</strong>ir time to this task. Their comments and suggestions proved to be<br />

extremely useful already in <strong>the</strong> selection process, which led us to <strong>the</strong> identification<br />

of three well-structured and cohesive volumes, <strong>the</strong> first of which (<strong>the</strong> present<br />

volume) is devoted to syntax and morphology, <strong>the</strong> second to lexis and semantics,<br />

and <strong>the</strong> third to geo-historical variation. We are extremely grateful to Professor<br />

Dr. E.F.K. Koerner, General Editor of “Current Issues in Linguistic Theory” (CILT),<br />

for having agreed to include <strong>the</strong>se three volumes of selected papers in his prestigious<br />

series, as well as for his advice and constant support. Our special thanks are<br />

also due to Ms. Anke de Looper at John Benjamins for her patience, great care,<br />

and assistance.<br />
