Читать книгу Collocations, Creativity and Constructions - Cordula Glass - Страница 7

Very much like collocations, this book was part of a steady process of ‘creativity’, ‘construction’ and, of course, ‘change’. Many people helped me to pass through the different (and sometimes difficult) stages applied research involves. There are too many to name them all, but I am grateful for their support and feedback. Some, however, deserve a very special mention:

First, I would like to thank Professor Dr. Thomas Herbst and Professor Dr. Thorsten Piske for their valuable and constructive suggestions during all stages of this project.

I also wish to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Christina Schelletter for helping out when help was needed the most. Furthermore, heartfelt thanks to Dr. Susanne Dyka, Dr. Carolin Ostermann, Eva Scharf and Thomas Binder for their feedback, encouragement and friendship. This book would not exist without them. I am also grateful to my colleagues as well as to all students, teachers and parents on both sides of the channel who, quite literally, provided the foundations for this project.

Finally, I wish to thank my family for their patience, support and encouragement. They are my ‘base’ and inspiration.
