Preface

This book is based on my doctoral dissertation research carried out at the Department of Linguistics, University of Geneva under the supervision of Eric Wehrli. I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude to my thesis committee members, Christian Boitet, Ulrich Heid, Paola Merlo and Jacques Moeschler as well as to the anonymous Springer reviewers for their comments and suggestions. I am especially grateful to Eric Wehrli both for his input on the dissertation and the present volume and for providing me the opportunity to carry out my work in such a stimulating environment during the eight years I spent in Geneva. My work received the support of several organisations, which are gratefully acknowledged: the Swiss Network for International Studies for sponsoring the project that formed the foundation of the present work; the Swiss National Science Foundation for financing my postdoctoral activity; and the Latsis Foundation for awarding me the 2010 Geneva University Latsis Prize for my dissertation. I am extremely grateful to the many people that have also contributed, directly or indirectly, to making this book a reality: Anamaria Ben¸tea, Chris Biemann, Dan Cristea, Stephanie Durrleman, Thierry Fontenelle, Nikhil Garg, Maria Georgescul, Jean-Philippe Goldman, François Grize, Ileana Ib˘anescu, Eric Joanis, Alexis Kauffmann, Christopher Laenzlinger, Antonio Leoni, Gabriele Musillo, Luka Nerima, Vivi N˘astase, Mar Ndiaye, Simona Orzan, Olivier
