Abstract:

This book clarifies - on the basis of mainly Hungarian data - basic issuesconcerning the category 'adverb,' the function 'adverbial,' and the grammarof adverbial modification. It argues for the PP analysis of adverbials, andclaims that they enter the derivation via left- and right-adjunction. Theirmerge-in position is determined by the interplay of syntactic, semantic,and prosodic factors. The semantically motivated constraints discussed alsoinclude a type restriction affecting adverbials semantically incorporatedinto the verbal predicate, an obligatory focus position for scalar adverbsrepresenting negative values of bidirectional scales, co-occurrencerestrictions between verbs and adverbials involving incompatible subevents,etc. The order and interpretation of adverbials in the postverbal domain isshown to be affected by such phonologically motivated constraints as theLaw of Growing Constituents, and by intonation phrase restructuring. Theshape of the light-headed chain arising in the course of locative PPincorporation is determined by morpho-phonological requirements. The typesof adverbs and adverbials analyzed include locatives, temporals,comitatives, epistemic adverbs, adverbs of degree, manner, counting, andfrequency, quantificational adverbs, and adverbial participles.
