Acknowledgements I am deeply grateful to Bart Geurts, my official assistant supervisor, and Rob van der Sandt, without whose help I would not have been able to write this thesis. After two shorter visits, Bart and Rob invited me to come and write my dissertation at Nijmegen University during 2001-2002. They made me most welcome, both in the department and in their homes. I am very grateful to Rob for explaining to me what a dissertation is, for getting me to see what mine could be, as well as for spending countless hours discussing the literature and my own work with me and for wise advice every step of the way. I am very grateful to Bart Geurts for answering my countless questions, reading several drafts of all the chapters, and for giving very clear, specific and practical advice on how to proceed at every stage. I thank you both for teaching me all the things I should have known and didn’t, and then some. Anyone would be lucky to have one of you as a supervisor; I was even luckier to have you both! My thanks also go to Östen Dahl for meticulously reading and commenting on every page of this dissertation, which hopefully made many of the ideas more accessible to a wider audience. Östen’s obvious enthusiasm for each of my small successes during the three years for which he was official supervisor was always a source of encouragement. My very warm thanks also go to Henk Zeevat. He has been an active source of encouragement since we met, and the hours he has spent discussing with me have made me more confident about expressing my own ideas. Several people read and commented on articles on which some of the work here is based, or on part of the thesis or on seminars based on this work. Special thanks to Emiel Krahmer who commented on several papers. Thanks also to Reinhard Blutner, Lars Borin, Benny Brodda, Kees van Deemter, Sofia Gustafson- Capková, Helen de Hoop and Natalia Nygren Modjeska. In Stockholm, several people have been a continued source of support. Most important among these is my officemate Sofia Gustafson-Capková, whose has always provided a calming and cheerful presence, as well as an enthusiastic discussion partner. Moral support and good advice has also been generously provided by Gudrun Göransson, Päivi Juvonen and Ljuba Veselinova. For moral support during my stay in Nijmegen I especially wish to thank Hanneke van der Grinten, Emar Maier and Frank Verdonk. I also wish to thank the Geurts–Wolfhagen family for adopting me into their family during my nearly six months in the Netherlands, during which time I wrote most of this dissertation. Special thanks here to Marlon Wolfhagen for making that time so gezellig as well as for very sensible advice when I was most
irrational. Very warm thanks to Julia and Mattijs Geurts, who not only taught me Dutch, but kept me entertained during my entire stay. Additional thanks go to the extended Wolfhagen family and the extended Geurts family for letting me be take part in all family activities, from family reunions to Sinterklas and Easter celebrations. It made my stay in Holland very special. Thank you to Andrew Hart for very wise editing help. To be honest, all the elegant sentences in this dissertation are his. I also wish to thank my sisters Allison Spenader and Elizabeth Spenader, whom I forced to do hours of corpus annotation. Thank you also to Elizabeth Spenader for the cover and to Benny Brodda for letting me use his drawings. I am grateful as well for Andreas Heim who has put up with me during these past few years, always patiently supportive, always understanding when I have put my work first. Thank you. And finally, my thanks go to Gunnel Källgren, my first supervisor, who sadly passed away in 1999. Gunnel encouraged me to pursue a Ph.D in computational linguistics at Stockholm University. I only wish very much that she could have been here to see that I did succeed. Jennifer Spenader Stockholm, 23 April, 2002.
