Free Adjuncts and Absolutes in English: Problems of Control and Interpretation: Germanic Linguistics

Autor Bernd Kortmann
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 feb 2014
Free adjuncts and absolutes typically function as adverbial clauses which are not overtly specified for any particular adverbial relation. The book is a non-formal, corpus based study of their current use in English. Its particular focus is on a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of their semantic indeterminacy and the syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic factors that help resolve it.
