Acknowledgements

First and foremost, I would like to express my greatest thanks to the Maison Chicago (University of Chicago Center in Paris), and, in particular Sebastien Greppo, for providing us with a meeting room and refreshments free of charge.

A great many thanks also to Alexandre Roulois for setting up our web page, to my colleagues at Laboratoire de linguistique formelle, and, of course to all the participants for their contributions.
