This book is the outcome of a two-year sojourn at the University of Swansea. It could not have been written without the gracious hospitality of this university and the facilities, including the well-stocked library, made available to the writer.
The author wishes to express his gratitude to Professor Maxine Lawson of Palermo University who overviewed the linguistic aspects of this work and to Mr Antonio Di Dio who overviewed the computer files. He also likes to thank two anonymous referees for their kind comments and useful suggestions.
