The book can be described as a sequel to a linguistics conference which took place in the early summer of 2013 in Olomouc. Hosted by Palacký University, the first Olomouc Linguistics Conference (OLINCO) profited from a large inter- national attendance, and a standard full-size volume of conference proceedings is being published in addition to this monograph. This separate book emerges from a selection of the original papers and posters submitted to OLINCO 2013, which their authors found to be surprisingly uniform and to share common themes of analysis. They re-submitted their contributions as chapters for this monograph, and in many cases it meant substantial enlargements and changes in order better to match the chosen theme. Therefore, first and foremost, the editors would like to thank all the authors of the individual chapters for both their enthusiastic participation in the conference and their cooperation in the editorial process. Thanks to their generous efforts, the monograph more accurately reflects a coherent and agreed-on area of subject matter: a formal linguistic description of the structural projections of nouns. The editors would also like to express their gratitude to their colleagues and students from the Department of English and American Studies of the Philosoph- ical Faculty of Palacký University in Olomouc, for their efforts related to the orga- nization of the OLINCO 2013 conference and the subsequent publishing activi- ties. We greatly appreciate the assistance of Simon Gill, Markéta Gregorová, Eva Nováková, and Monika Pitnerová, without whose tireless devotion to the editing work the monograph would never have come into existence. Apart from the support of the above Department, the Philosophical Faculty and Palacký University, all of which were indispensable, we have also benefited from the generous support of ESF grant CZ.1.07/2.3.00/20.0061 (Language Diversity and Communication), financed by the European Union and the Czech Republic. This grant was used to cover the demanding editing, reviewing, and publishing process. And last we would like to express our immense gratitude to all the reviewers who devotedly participated in the process of reviewing the monograph, namely Professor Petr Karlík of Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic; Professor Jamal Ouhalla of University College Dublin, Ireland; and Dr Jeffrey Parrott of Palacký University, Olomouc.

The scope of the book includes applying all levels of linguistic analysis to the languages concerned, and we believe that it faithfully mirrors and expands the leading ideas of current research in the given area. The authors who are contributors to this volume have been inspired by their meeting at the OLINCO 2013 conference in Olomouc, Czech Republic, where they found out that their contributions share a similar theme – namely, an interest in the structure of nominal projections – its characteristics, properties and the properties of its parts. Most of the ideas that appear in this monograph were therefore originally presented in the form of talks or posters at the conference, and as far as possible the chapter titles reflect the original titles. However, many of the conference papers and especially posters have been enlarged and trans- formed into written versions by their authors, so as to conform to the scope of this monograph and tailor the individual contributions to the common theme. In addition, most of the languages described here are Slavic, which represents another unifying characteristic of this book. The cross-linguistic examples and paradigms, especially in some Slavic languages, which are collected in this mono- graph are often original and deserving of serious attention in future research. The individual chapters provide valuable sets of empirical data and generalizations which will enrich and stimulate analyses of these topics in any formal theoretical frameworks of the future. As mentioned above,
