Adverbs seem to raise unsolvable issues for theories of
word-classes, both crosslinguistically and language-internally. The
contributions in this volume all address this categorial problem
from a variety of formal and functional points of view. In the
first part, current definitions of the class for Romance and
Germanic languages are being questioned and improved, drawing on
data from English, German and Italian. The second part is devoted
to adverbial scope in Romance (French, Italian and Brazilian
Portuguese), Germanic, Modern Greek and Chinese, under special
consideration of modal adverbs, subject-oriented manner adverbs and
domain adverbs and adverbials. Syntactic and semantic relationships
appear to lay the ground for a robust and fine-grained functional
definition of adverbs and adverbials.
