Acknowledgments
The research for this volume was financed with a senior postdoctoral fellowship of the Research Foundation—Flanders (FWO) [12V4821N] hosted by KU Leuven’s Comparative, Historical and Applied Linguistics department; through the Horizon 2020 program under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 890397, MigraLing, hosted at the Department of Philosophy, Classics, History of Art and Ideas (University of Oslo); and a BOFZAP research professorship at KU Leuven’s Latin Literature department.
The volume would never have materialized if it weren’t for the support of Han Lamers, my New Ancient Greek partner-in-crime since the very beginning. I also owe many corrections to Xander Feys and Andy Peetermans, and am obliged to them, as well as to Jan Papy and Gilbert Tournoy for sending me relevant primary materials and secondary literature. I am thankful also to Janika Päll and Filippomaria Pontani for their stimuli in writing and finishing this contribution, as well as for the input of the participants in the Latin–Greek code-switching workshop that took place in Leuven on October 13–14, 2022. Furthermore, the reviewers greatly helped me with matters of presentation and content. Needless to say, all errors remaining are to be attributed to me only. This project was an opportunity for me to combine aspects from my earlier research, often conducted in collaboration. This means that there will be extensive self-referencing, for which I hope the reader will forgive me. On the subject of forgiveness, I thank series editor Gesine Manuwald for dealing with delays on my side so patiently and so professionally.
I dedicate the book on the two classical languages to those other great twins in my life, Jerom and Jules, who have made sure that I spent sufficient time outside of my ivory tower. I admire them, as well as Elien and Maurice, for putting up with me and my particular brand of work.
