ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
At this occasion the editors would like to thank all those involved in the organization of the Conference on Knowledge and Language. Without the help and enthusiasm of many members, both staff and students, of the departments of General Linguistics, General and Comparative Literature, and History, of Groningen University, this conference, and hence this publication would not have been possible. In particular we would like to thank the other members of the organizing committee, Jan Koster and Henny Zondervan. In all matters of organization and planning, Liesbeth van der Velden provided invaluable help, and so did Marijke Wubbolts. We would also like to acknowledge the cooperation of the then Dutch Defense Minister Frits Bolkestein and his staff in the organization of the public debate with Noam Chomsky on The Manufacture of Consent, as well as the contributions by the chairmen and panel members. The conference was characterized by lively and fundamental discussions. At this point we would like to thank those who contributed to that atmosphere by their presentations, and who for various reasons could not submit their contribution for publication, notably, Manfred Bierwisch, Denis Bouchard, Melissa Bowerman, Gisbert Fanselow, Sascha Felix, Johan Galtung, Alessandra Giorgi, Giuseppe Longobardi, David Pesetsky, D
