A Structural View of Present –Day English Adverbials
Auther : Ahmad El-Bakri
This paper presents the reader with a new approach to the study of English adverbials in modern English syntax, from a structural point of vie. It deals with the three different, though inseparable, aspects of form function and position . though not in accordance with some previous work on the subject, the paper aims at introducing a methodology that shows the intricate interrelationships holding among these three aspects, through the scientific investigation of some spoken texts of everyday English. Such interrelationships are finally manifested in a classificatory system that covers a great portion of adverbial usage in present day English.
