Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics; Historical Linguistics; Syntax; Typology 

Meeting Description: 

The category adverb has been described as the ‘most problematic major word class’ (Haspelmath 2001:16543), and the same applies to adverbials on the level of syntactic functions. Furthermore both concepts are connected in the sense that adverbs typically function as adverbials. Even though there should be a clear distinction between adverbs and adverbials since they represent different levels of syntactic analysis, adverbs are often confused with adverbials due to this interrelatedness.

The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers from different fields (e.g. historical linguistics, English linguistics and general linguistics) to discuss fundamental questions concerning the category adverb and the syntactic function adverbial from a variety of perspectives. Topics include the emergence of the lexical category adverb, the relationship between adverbs and adverbials as well as a cross-linguistic definition of adverbs and adverbials.
