7 PREFACE This volume has its genesis in the PIONIER Workshop Differential Subject Marking, held at the Radboud University Nijmegen in July 2004, and organised by Tessel van Balen and us. We would like to thank all participants of the workshop for making it a success, and the contributors to this volume for their enthusiastic cooperation. Thanks as well to the editors of the series for giving us the opportunity to make a book on this fascinating theme, and to the reviewers of the individual chapters as well as the book manuscript for many useful comments. We gratefully acknowledge the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific research (NWO) for financial support of our research, grants (PIONIER project Case crosslinguistically ) and ( Animacy ). Special thanks go to Luuc van der Horst for his indispensable help in preparing the final manuscript for publication. Helen de Hoop and Peter de Swart Radboud University Nijmegen vii
