This content is being prepared for publication; it may be subject to changes.

The PhD project this book is based on could not have been realized if it had not been for the help and support of a great many people. At the risk of missing someone, I wish to give some special thanks to:

–

everyone who was so kind to take the time to participate in the experiments online and on site;

–

my infinitely patient speakers: Mira Hykkelbjerg Wulff (who braved the elements (seagulls and buses) while recording) and Felicia Jainz (only speaker of an unheard-of dialect heard by many);

–

Kalle and Felicia for turning my svorsk into svenska time and again;

–

Annika Andersson, Julia Prentice and Sivi Järvinen for helping me with my ETHIX application;

–

everyone at the Institute for Scandinavian Studies, Frisian Studies and General Linguistics at Kiel University who provided me with feedback on the experiments during the test runs;

–

Joel Olofsson from Högskolan Väst, everyone at the Institutionen för språk, litteratur och interkultur at Karlstad universitet, Trixie Jaala Thuresson and the team at HumUS at Örebro universitet, and Nigel Musk and the others at SKI/IKOS at Linköpings universitet, who provided me with rooms for the experiments during my research visits in Sweden and helped me recruit participants;

–

Beke Hansen and Robert Daugs for discussing statistics with me;

–

Nina Sternitzke and Sabrina Goll for their feedback and support at many a Doktorandenkolloquium;

–

Steffen Höder for everything from the first aha moment in the first seminar to his support in the last last-minute crises before submitting, for great discussions, valuable advice and for creating a space for his PhD students to grow and thrive;

–

and, of course, to my wonderful parents and the rest of my lovely family.

I also wish to thank Martin Hilpert and Steffen Höder for their comments on the original thesis and the whole committee at my defence for valuable feedback and food for thought — all of which fed into this book.
