Acknowledgements

This volume has grown out of the research project called “Comparative analysis of psychological predicates in Polish, Spanish and English”, supported by grant No. 2014/15/B/HS2/00588 from the National Science Centre, Poland, for which we would like to express our great appreciation. We are most grateful to the authors whose contributions are represented here, both the members of the research team and the guests Antonio Fábregas and Rafael Marín, who kindly agreed to write a chapter for our book, as well as Arkadiusz Nowak for his input in chapter one. It was a real pleasure for both of us to prepare the volume in cooperation with all the authors. We have benefited enormously from reading their chapters. We are greatly indebted to the reviewers Víctor Acedo-Matellán, Barbara Citko, Luis García Fernández, Rafael Marín, Franc Lanko Marušič, Michael Travis Putnam, Mercedes Tubino, Elisabeth Verhoeven, Bartosz Wiland, Ewa Willim, and Jacek Witkoś, whose insightful and inspiring comments improved the quality of the volume.

We would like to express our gratitude to the series editors Elly van Gelderen and Werner Abraham as well as Kees Vaes for their support and making this book a reality. Finally, we would like to thank Artur Krzysztof Rozwadowski for invaluable technical assistance in putting the volume together.
