Acknowledgments

We are thrilled to bring this book project to completion together with a wonderful group of scholars who have inquired into collaborative writing research for years. First, we would like to express our utmost appreciation to all the authors of this edited volume who have contributed book chapters and served as internal reviewers of assigned chapters. Our immense gratitude also goes to the external reviewers who have generously provided valuable constructive feedback on previous versions of the manuscripts. They are Makoto Abe, Agurtzane Azkarai, Ufuk Balaman, Julie Carver, Wenting Chen, Hyeyoon Cho, Bill Crawford, Lara Ducate, Rima Elabdali, Mark Johnson, YouJin Kim, Icy Lee, Brian Olovson, Xuyan Qiu, Ali Shehadeh, Christine Tardy, Mark Feng Teng, Luxin Yang, Shulin Yu, and Daisy Zou. Moreover, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to the editors of the LL&LT series, Nina Spada, Nelleke van Deusen-Scholl, and Laura Gurzynski Weiss for their meticulous and critical reviews of the earlier version of the book. We are also extremely grateful to Kees Vaes at John Benjamins for his continuous guidance. Finally, we would like to convey our greatest appreciation for the patience, understanding, and support of our families.
