Acknowledgements

There are many people to thank in the production of this volume. We are grateful to all the authors who have contributed to this project and trusted us with their work. We thank the reviewers of each of the chapters, who gave thoughtful feedback that has contributed importantly to their final quality, and the series editors and editorial staff at Benjamins without whom this volume would not have been possible. Lucy Pickering especially thanks her husband and “at home” cognitive linguist Salvatore Attardo for his invaluable contributions throughout each stage of the preparation of the manuscript and the final chapter. Most importantly, we acknowledge Professor Andrea Tyler whose intellectual legacy, dedication to her work, and generosity to students and colleagues throughout her career is reflected in every page of this book.
