Conclusions and Prospects. 330 $aThis book proposes a theory of the distribution of adverbial adjuncts in a Principles and Parameters framework, claiming that there are few syntactic principles specific to adverbials; rather, for the most part, adverbials adjoin freely to any projection. Adjuncts' possible hierarchical positions are determined by whether they can receive a proper interpretation, according to their selectional (including scope) requirements and general compositional rules, while linear order is determined by hierarchical position along with a system of directionality principles and morphological weight, both of which apply generally to adjuncts and all other syntactic elements. A wide range of adverbial types is analysed; predicational adverbs (such as manner, and modal adverbs), domain expressions like financially, temporal, frequency, duration and focusing adverbials; participant PPs (e.g. locatives and benefactives); resultative and conditional clauses, and others, taken primarily from English, Chinese, French and Italian, with occasional reference to others (such as German and Japanese). 410 0$aCambridge studies in linguistics ;$v96. 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xAdverbials 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xAdjuncts 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xSyntax 606 $aSemantics 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xAdverbials. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xAdjuncts. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xSyntax. 615 0$aSemantics. 676 $a415 700 $aErnst$b Thomas Boyden$0597057 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823239803321 996 $aSyntax of adjuncts$91029323 997 $aUNINA
