Pay attention that you have to depend on semantics and
pragmatics to know the function of these adverbials since that structure is not enough to do so. The three examples of advs are separated by commas so how to know each! ADJUNCTS First of all adjunct adverb is integrated in the clause structure, that it cannot appear initially in a negative declarative clause, and it can be the focus of negation. (by the way they are either predication adjuncts which modify the verb phrase or sentence adjuncts which modify the whole clause) The function of adjunct adverbials is to modify the verb together with its complements. An adjunct may be removed without the structural identity of the rest of the construction being affected, e.g. John kicked the ball yesterday instead of John kicked the ball. But, in certain cases adjuncts cannot be omitted, for example the adjunct of place in She put the book on the shelf. Compare linking adverbial; sentence adverbial Look Ali .......Adjunct adverbials are those expressions that answer the questions How? When? Where? Why? How many times? How long? How often? They describe manner, time, place, cause, frequency, duration. See that these adverbials are all adjuncts a) manner: How? ( look Ali I can ask how fast how well ) well, fast, quickly, seriously, carefully, with enthusiasm b) time: When? ( see Ali how I can ask with when for Monday, tomorrow) tomorrow, on Monday, in ten days, after I die c) place: Where? here, there, downtown, in the house, where he was born d) cause or reason: Why? for many reasons, on account of the snow, because he was sick e) frequency: How often? How many times? twice a day, monthly, never f) duration: How long? for two hours, while they were on vacation They can be: g)Prepositional Phrase (PP)
in ten days, for decades, in the park, on Tuesday, for no
reason, with enthusiasm h) Noun Phrase (NP) Monday, this year, last month, two hours, home, upstairs i) Adverbial Phrase (AdvP) tomorrow, yesterday, here, there, twice, monthly, enthusiastically j) S (Sentence) when I arrived , while you were away, after they came back, since you moved. PLEASE, see 8:4 /8:5/ 8:6, 7,8,9,10,11. For more detail on Adjuncts DISJUNCT They denote the speakers judgment or attitude toward what is said in S, such as expressing the speakers degree of truthfulness or manner of speaking. They modify the entire S, not just the VP. They are traditionally called Sentence Adverbials. e.g Frankly, I dont care. Personally, I dont agree with what they said. Some of this type of adverbial are 1-Adverbial Phrase (AdvP) seriously, luckily, frankly, hopefully, personally, oddly, confidentially, certainly, sadly 2-Prepositional Phrase (PP) to my regret, in all frankness, to my surprise, in broad terms, between you and me. Sentence adverbials characteristically modify an entire sentence or comment on its probability, desirability or style. They are often set off with commas at the beginning and end of a clause: e.g a-Surprisingly, George passed. b-Fortunately, I wore my raincoat. c- Frankly, I'd rather be in Philadelphia. PLEASE, see 8:47, 48,49,50,51,52 for more details on disjuncts CONJUNCTS They express textual relations such as linking clauses. They have a linking function within clauses.
Some of this type are:
A-AdvP: moreover, however, nevertheless, furthermore, next, finally, consequently, therefore, thus, instead, besides, hence. B-PP: in addition, in conclusion, on the one hand, on the other hand, for example, on the contrary, in other words, for example, as a result, in the first place. Conjunctive adverbs link two items together in meaning, but they are not considered strong enough to join two independent clauses together with only a comma, as true coordinating conjunctions. The conjunctive adverb itself needs to be set off with at least commas. A period will also suffice as half of the enclosure when the adverb is at the beginning or end of the next sentence: e.g The vice president missed the deer. However, he did manage to wound Homer. The vice president missed the deer. He did manage to wound Homer, however. When the conjunctive adverb is in the middle of a clause, however, it needs commas both before and after, If the two clauses involved are independent clauses, they must still be separated by a period or semi-colon. e.g The vice president missed the deer; he did, however, manage to wound homer. When one of the clauses joined is a subordinate clause, the conjunctive adverb must still be set off, but the clauses themselves can be joined by a comma: e.g -When the conjunctive adverb is in the middle of a clause, however, it needs commas both before and after. - When the vice president missed the deer, he did, however, manage to wound Homer.
