I was supervised by Ulirich Heid at the Institut für MaschinelleSprachverarbeitung of the Universität Stuttgart. I am very grateful to him for hisinterest in my work, his motivation and feedback, and especially for the fact that hecould always find time for me, although it was sometimes difficult due to his full-scale schedule at both universities and his activities in research projects. I would liketo thank him for giving me the opportunity to develop my own ideas: without him Iwould have been just rambling from one topic to another all the time.
