Acknowledgements s
Firstt of all, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Kees Hengeveld for his enthusiasticc and inspiring guidance. During the past years we spent coundess hourss discussing and solving the problems that I encountered with the result that thiss book has greatly benefited from his insights. Without his guidance, help, and especiallyy his flexibility this book would not have appeared in its current form.
II am most grateful to Pieter Muysken, who first made it possible for me to work inn a stimulating environment at the Department of General Linguistics of the Uni-versityy of Amsterdam. I thank him for his continuous encouragement, ideas, and enthusiasticc support through the years.
Furthermoree I would like to thank Ineke Jongen and Hein van der Voort for theirr endless support, both logistic and otherwise.
Manyy thanks are also due to the following persons for all sorts of help, their effortss on behalf of the data collection, discussion, etc.: Willem Adelaar, Dik Bakker, Peterr Bakker, Marien van den Berg, Machtelt Bolkestein, Eithne Carlin, Bernard Comrie,, Anna Crevels, Coby Crevels-de Jonge, Jan Crevels Jr., Stefan Elders, Nick Evans,, Ad Fooien, Marianne Graumnitz, Martine Haak, Martin Haase, Peter Kahrel,, Simon van de Kerke, Tineke van der Kooij, Robert MacDougall, Bill McGregor,, Maarten Mous, Masha Polinsky, Rodie Risselada, Jan RijkhofF, Albert Rijksbaron,, Ventura Salazar Garcia, Johan van der Auwera, Gerry Wanders, and Jos Weitenberg. .
Withoutt the enormous help of the numerous native speakers and specialized linguists,, the project of which this book is the result would have been doomed to fail.. I cannot thank them enough for their generosity in providing me with valuable informationn on the expression of concession in their respective languages, and theirr patience while helping me with the interpretation of the data. I can say that itit has been an utterly satisfying experience for me to work with all of them and II can only hope that the feeling is mutual. The names of the speakers and special-istss are listedd alphabetically by language.
