This book clarifies - on the basis of mainly Hungarian data - basic
issues concerning the category 'adverb,' the function 'adverbial,'
and the grammar of adverbial modification. It argues for the PP
analysis of adverbials, and claims that they enter the derivation
via left- and right-adjunction. Their merge-in position is
determined by the interplay of syntactic, semantic, and prosodic
factors. The semantically motivated constraints discussed also
include a type restriction affecting adverbials semantically
incorporated into the verbal predicate, an obligatory focus
position for scalar adverbs representing negative values of
bidirectional scales, cooccurrence restrictions between verbs and
adverbials involving incompatible subevents, etc. The order and
interpretation of adverbials in the postverbal domain is shown to
be affected by such phonologically motivated constraints as the Law
of Growing Constituents, and by intonation phrase restructuring.
The shape of the light-headed chain arising in the course of
locative PP incorporation is determined by morpho-phonological
requirements. The types of adverbs and adverbials analyzed include
locatives, temporals, comitatives, epistemic adverbs, adverbs of
degree, manner, counting, and frequency, quantificational adverbs,
and adverbial participles.
