In Present-Day English, the only flexible sentence constituent in
unmarked declarative sentences is the adverbial, which can often be
placed in initial, medial, or end position. This book presents the
first empirical and corpus-based study on the usage patterns and
functions of medially-placed linking adverbials in
conceptually-written academic English. By combining quantitative
with detailed qualitative analyses of selected corpus examples, the
present study explores whether the placement of linking adverbials
in medial position can be regarded as a focusing strategy, similar
to focusing adverbs and cleft sentences. Moreover, it investigates
whether different medial positions are associated with distinct
discourse functions, such as the marking of contrastive topics or
different focus meanings.
