THEMATIC STRUCTUREDissertation • September 21st, 2006
Contract Type FiledSeptember 21st, 2006It is a great pleasure to acknowledge the people who helped me and contributed to the work presented in this dissertation. First, I would like to thank my committee members, Yehuda Falk, Wendy Sandler and Yael Ziv. Yehuda Falk was ready to dive into an unknown territory for him, that of sign language linguistics, in order to guide me through the syntactic intricacies of the subject matter of my thesis. His ability to capture the whole picture, concerning both sign language and linguistics in general, as well as his broad knowledge of various linguistic theories and different linguistic areas, have made the past few years a valuable learning experience for me. Yehuda has the talent of asking challenging questions and insisting of getting answers to them. This has made a significant contribution in shaping my work into its present form.
