Acknowledgements
The researcher is deeply grateful to her supervisor Prof. Dr. Aida Zaher for her great effort without which this work would have never been completed.
The researcher has been working under her supervision since 1999 when she started her M.A. research. During these years, she has known Prof. Aida as a principle-centered person. Her overly enthusiasm and integral view on research and her mission for providing only high quality work and not less, has made a deep impression on the researcher.
I owe her lot of gratitude for having shown me this way of research. She could not even realize how much I have learned from her. I am glad I have come to get to know her in my academic life. She always monitored my work and took effort in reading and providing me with valuable comments. She really has a sharp eye for minute details and possesses super-analytical skills. I have to acknowledge her important inputs in all chapters of the thesis.
