Frontmatter -- Contents -- Modifying (the grammar of) adjuncts: an introduction -- Part A: The argument-adjunct distinction -- The dual analysis of adjuncts/complements in Categorial Grammar -- Genitives, relational nouns, and argument-modifier ambiguity -- Heads, complements, adjuncts: Projection and saturation -- Part Β: Adjunct placement -- Syntactic conditions on adjunct classes -- “Manner” adverbs and the association theory: Some problems and solutions -- Manner adverbs and information structure: Evidence from the adverbial modification of verbs of creation -- Semantic features and the distribution of adverbs -- Clause-final left-adjunction -- Part C: Case studies on wieder/again -- Process, eventuality, and wieder,/again -- Competition and interpretation: The German adverb wieder (‘again’) -- How are results represented and modified? Remarks on Jäger & Blutner’s anti-decomposition -- Part D: Flexibility of eventuality-related modification -- Event arguments, adverb selection, and the Stative Adverb Gap -- Event-internal modifiers: Semantic underspecification and conceptual interpretation -- Flexibility in adverbal modification: Reinterpretation as contextual enrichment -- Secondary predication and aspectual structure -- Real adjuncts in the Instrumental in Russian -- German participle II constructions as adjuncts -- Subject index

Unlike the notion of "argument" that is central to modern linguistic theorizing, the phenomena that are commonly subsumed under the complementary notion "adjunct" so far have not attracted the attention they deserve. In this volume, leading experts in the field present current approaches to the grammar and pragmatics of adjuncts. The contributions scrutinize i.a. the argument-adjunct distinction, specify conditions of adjunct placement, discuss compositionality issues, and propose new analyses of event-related modification. They are meant to shed new light on an area of linguistic structure that is deemed to be notoriously overlooked.
