large number of people without whose willing assistance this book would not have been possible. My colleague Dr. Wiebke Brockhaus read and commented on the whole manuscript and the work has bene®tted enormously from her advice and many helpful suggestions. Thomas Despositos, Frank Munique and Petra Storjohann and a large number of friends and colleagues in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, provided much material and were kind enough to answer many questions on individual points of usage. The Austrian Institute in London and the Swiss Consulate in Manchester furnished me with information on vocabulary relating to the institutions of those countries. Much of the raw material was furnished, often unwittingly, by English and German students in Manchester over the years, whose queries and problems have provided constant stimulation. I am immensely grateful, too, to all colleagues atthe Institut fuÈr Deutsche Sprache in Mannheim, where I spent several weeks collecting and checking much of the material which has found its way into this book. This visit was generously supported by the Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst. Most of the examples illustrating usage were taken or adapted from the huge volume of corpus data available in Mannheim, which was also invaluable in checking collocation frequencies. Last, but not least, I must express my deep gratitude to Dr Kate Brett at Cambridge University Press for her continued help, encouragement and patience during the preparation and editing of the book.  \nAbbreviations  \nadj. decl. attrib.
