Adverbs and Comparatives : An analytical bibliography
Jan 1977
Book
There are indications that interest in the study of adverbs has been growing steadily in recent years largely due to the so-called Chomskyan revolution in linguistics which put much emphasis on the study of syntax but probably also because of the position these adverbs and other particles take within a syntactic string has proved to be much more difficult to determine than had previously been thought. Still another reason for the increase of interest in this topic may be found in the recent trend in linguistics which focusses on communicative competence and actual language use in daily discourse. Although this bibliography has no claim to exhaustiveness it should nonetheless be useful to researchers working on adverbs and comparatives. The titles selected relate in one way or another to the problems the linguist faces with respect to the adverb.
