Preface
This collection of essays is dedicated to Klaus von Heusinger on the occasion of his 60th
birthday.
Over the years, thanks to his relentless academic activity, Klaus has created and given
impulse to numerous formal and informal networks of scientists, working in linguistics and
neighbouring disciplines all over the world. In many cases, these scientific collaborations
developed into lasting friendships.
In planning this volume, we wanted it to reflect the range of research topics, languages, and
methodologies addressed by Klaus and his colleagues, but also the richness of personal
relations that emerged through these collaborations and were cemented by a genuine,
evergreen curiosity in the mechanisms of human communication. We believe that the
promptness of the contributors to this volume to be our accomplices in preparing this
collection for Klaus was instrumental in attaining our initial goal: Klaus’ research interests are
richly represented in this volume, as well as his role as a trustworthy colleague and mentor.
With this Festschrift, we want to thank Klaus for what he means to us as his students,
colleagues and friends. We have good reasons to hope that he will enjoy reading the various
contributions: they are 60, like the years of his life we are celebrating today; they are listed
alphabetically, but they quite naturally fall into thematic clusters in which Klaus’ influence
and inspiration can be clearly perceived. We are grateful to Klaus for the generosity which he
constantly demonstrates us in sharing his ideas, concerning all aspects of academic life.
The tradition of having a Festschrift to celebrate the 60th birthday of a distinguished scholar
relies on the presupposition that at that age most scientific milestones will have been
achieved, most ideas will have been developed, most collaborations will have been
established. In Klaus’ case, this presupposition must be explicitly rejected: we would not be
surprised at all in seeing him starting completely new lines of research in the next years, and
creating new networks, exploring the landscape of linguistic studies in further countries,
investigating new languages and new phenomena. Actually, we expect no less from him in the
coming years!
We would like to thank Katja Halassy, Stephan Henn, and Raphael Thiele for their advice,
their help in planning this volume, and their support during the editing process. Thanks also
go to the authors for their interesting and diverse contributions, and for their prompt responses
and detailed comments during the editing process. Our student assistants Antonia Braun,
Alina Yehorova and Robert Voigt provided invaluable support with typesetting. We would
also like to thank Marta Corcotoi for bringing the Festschrift into such a beautiful cover
design, and the Universitäts- und Stadtbibliothek Köln for giving us the opportunity to publish
this collection on the platform ‘Open Monograph Press’.
