The series Handbooks of Linguistics and Communication Science is designed to illuminate a field which not only includes general linguistics and the study of linguistics as applied to specific languages, but also covers those more recent areas which have developed from the increasing body of research into the manifold forms of communicative action and interaction.
It was the late co-editor of the series “Handbücher zur Sprach- und Kommunikationswissenschaft”, Gerold Ungeheuer, who was first to recognize the need for this handbook, and who committed himself to the all important inclusion in the series. The editors dedicate this volume to his memory.
