Abstract:

Adverbials have become an important testing ground for research on the
interfaces between syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. The articles selected
for this volume present recent research on this topic. Among the issues
addressed are the occurrence of adverbials in various domains of the
sentence Mittelfeld, left and right periphery, adverbials in front of gaps,
and the influence of the discourse context on the interpretation and
position of adverbials. Particular classes of adverbials that are discussed
include domain, locative, temporal, manner, transparent, and degree
adverbials. Beyond the exploration of these topics, the volume reflects the
current debate between proponents of semantic-driven approaches to the
positioning of adverbials which assume adverbials to be adjuncts and
approaches that claim a primacy of syntax in conceiving of adverbials as
specifiers in a universally valid hierarchy of functional projections.
