Acknowledgments
I would like to express my deep and sincere gratitude to Henryk Kardela and Maruszka Meinard for invaluable comments on a draft of this book. I also thank anonymous reviewers of this book and reviewers of my articles about vehicle selection in metonymies for their thought-provoking and challenging feedback, which helped me to refine the theoretical insights presented in this study. Sam Bennett’s assistance and comments proved essential for preparing the final version of the text. Chapter 4 could not have been completed without the contribution of Jolanta Rebejko, who prepared the figures with PJM signs. Jerzy Durczak has kindly permitted to use his photograph for the cover of the book. Last but not least, I thank the anonymous reviewers for their constructive feedback, as well as Elisa Perotti and Bart Nijsten at Brill for their professional assisstance during the publication process.
