Abstract:

Adverb positions vary within a single language as well as across diverse 
languages. Based on the study of adverbs in English, French and German, 
this monograph shows that the distribution of adverbs is influenced by 
various factors at distinct levels of linguistic representation - comprising 
semantics, syntax, phonology and information structure - which interact in 
determining adverb positions. The results of the investigation are formulated 
within the theoretical framework of Optimality Theory, which captures the 
complex interaction of these factors by hierarchically ranked constraints, 
deriving cross-linguistic variation of adverb positions by differences in the 
language-specific constraint hierarchies. 

The book is divided into two parts: While Part I examines adverb positions in 
general, Part II investigates under which circumstances an adverb may 
attach to a phonetically empty constituent in the languages under discussion. 
The book appeals to a linguistic audience interested in Germanic and 
Romance languages as well as in theoretical syntax in general.
