viNick Asher, David Beaver, the late Carlota Smith, and David Armstrong. Finally,a Frye-stipend facilitated a stay in Stuttgart in 2008, where I had usefulconversations with Hans Kamp and Nick Asher. I would like to thank allthese people for sharing their ideas with me. My warm thanks especially go toAlexander Mourelatos who has been extremely supportive and helpful duringand after my time in Austin.Over the past few years I have been in contact with a great number of researchers,and I want to thank a few of them explicitly for their help: StéphanieBakker, Eystein Dahl, Östen Dahl, Marc Greenberg, Helen de Hoop, LuukHuitink, Dorota Klimek-Jankowska, André Lardinois, Andrej Malchukov, FabriceNauze, Albert Rijksbaron, Willeon Slenders, Alexis Smets, Jennifer Spenader,Arnim von Stechow, Peter Stork, and Gerry Wakker.I also would like to thank my parents Guus and Liesbeth for their unconditionalsupport and my brothers Wilbert and Stefan and sister Lizet forreminding me all the time that my practical skills have been developed muchless than my intellectual ones.Usually a boyfriend is thanked for the things a boyfriend does (help youforget all about your research, make you happy). Although that is quite a lotalready, Peter did much more. To mention just one thing, he spent incrediblymany hours (not to say months) reading, discussing, and improving my textsin all phases of the writing process. As a result, he may know this dissertationbetter than I do. I am extremely thankful for everything he did.
