This volume contains a selection of the papers presented at the Eleventh International Conference on Historical Linguistics, which was held at the University of California, Los Angeles, 16-21 August 1993. Among them are a few that were presented in the workshop on Typology and Parameters organized by David W. Lightfoot and myself. It is a pleasure to record here the gratitude of the International Society for Historical Linguistics to the institutions and individuals who helped make the Conference a success.ICHL 1993 received financial and material support from the College of Letters and Science of UCLA, from many of the departments of its Division of Humanities—English, French, Germanic Languages, Italian, Linguistics, Near Eastern Languages and Cultures, Slavic Languages and Literatures, Spanish and Portuguese Languages and Literatures, and from the Center for European and Russian Studies. I am grateful to the chairs and staff of these departments and especially grateful for the moral support I received from the department chairs Jean-Claude Carron, Antonio Loprieno, and Russell Schuh. I am pleased to thank Executive Vice-Chancellor, Dr. Andrea L. Rich, who opened the Conference, and Provost Brian P. Copenhaver, who welcom ed the participants on behalf of the College.

They deserve a separate, warm thank-you. The papers presented in the Conference were chosen on the basis of abstracts evaluated by members of the Executive Committee of the ISHL. These same persons and three referees who prefer to remain anonymous helped select the papers published in this volume. I thank them for the valuable judgement they contributed and for their time. In preparing this volume for publication I was ably assisted by my students Joan Chevalier, Elian Chuaqui, and Ling-Yao Lai. I am grateful to them all, but especially to Joan, who was my right hand at the time of the Conference and did a large part of the editorial work afterwards. In view of the considerable effort that was made to bring this volume to the printer soon after the Conference, let it be recorded that it could easily have
