Free Adjuncts and Absolutes in English : Problems of Control and Interpretation Paperback / softback
by Bernd Kortmann
Part of the Germanic Linguistics series
Paperback / softback
Description
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.
