acknowledgmentsto reach the end of this particular journey would not have been possible without some precious people in my life.
    first, i would love to express my sincere appreciation to my tutor, the incomparable professor rod ellis, for his tireless guidance and patience. without him, i could hardly imagine where this thesis would be.
    secondly, i would dedicate my deepest gratitude to my parents, mr. weiren chang and ms. yuhua kong, for their unconditional love and support, and for supervising me spiritually throughout the years.
    my heart cries out “i love you and miss you”to my late grandmother, ms. zhenya hui, who keeps watching over me from heaven all along the writing of this book. may she congratulate me there!
    my thanks extend to my teachers, friends and colleagues. associate professor gary barkhuizen, for always being considerate; dr. robert batstone, for helping me with my presentation; mr. nick shackleford, for the warm kiwi welcome and friendship in the past years; the csc and consul tom gao, for the scholarship and understanding; lily li, for a beautiful job in helping me with spss; davida bantz-leguard and russell greenwood, for their careful proof-reading; professor lydia li and professor huixin zhang, for their encouragement and trust in me whenever i almost felt like throwing the towel.
    my appreciation also goes to my darlings, the participants in shenyang jianzhu university of china. thank you for opening your doors to me.
