Acknowledgements
The work presented here has been subsidized since 2002 mainly by the Canadian Government through the Canada Research Chairs Program. I also received two research grants from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) of Canada. I would like to thank Michel Biezunski and Steve Newcomb (who programmed the first version of the IEML1 dictionary and parser), Andrew Roczniak (who helped me formalize the mathematical theory of IEML), Christian Desjardins (who programmed an IEML-oriented database) and Samuel Szoniecky for their contributions.
My wife, Darcia Labrosse, has supported me in every possible way over the many years I have been working on the creation of IEML. She assisted and advised me in creating the diagrams and was an attentive, perceptive and tireless editor of this book. Without her, this book and even the IEML metalanguage would not have seen the light of day.
