Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study is to understand in detail the properties of English adverbs, especially the relationship between form and function. Using various corpora of standard English, I provide a thorough description of the behavior and characteristics of the target adverbs on functional grounds. I further argue that English adverbs occupy the intersection between modality and discourse, and try to interpret them in light of pragmatic contexts.
