<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
14.0pt'>This round saw a particularly high number of submissions (10 in total)
and submissions were generally of a very high quality, which is very good news
for typology, but which also made the review process a rather lengthy and, admittedly,
difficult exercise. The chair of the committee, Eva Schultze-Berndt, wishes to
thank all reviewers who so generally gave their time and expertise: Juliette
Blevins, Joan Bybee, Denis Creissels, Martin Haspelmath, Bernhard Hurch, Leonid
Kulikov, Tania Kuteva, Bill McGregor, Andrej Malchukov, Elena Maslova, Maria
Polinsky, Eva Schultze-Berndt, Elena Skribnik, and Sergei Tatevosov.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
