The present Festschrift for Klaus Hansen comprises contributions by renowned colleagues and friends from various European countries working in the field of English linguistics. Reflecting Hansen's main areas of research, the papers in this volume mainly deal with lexicology, varieties of English and Grammar. The book constitutes a synthesis of investigations into special problems and of papers with a wider coverage, thus reflecting the state of the art in important areas of research in English linguistics. In addition to this, the volume presents a bibliography of Hansen's publications, which gives an impressive survey of the versatility of his scholarly work.
