Abstract The position of adverbs relative to other elements has been a critical diagnostic in the analysis of phrase structure. Earlier generative work on adverbs, such as Jackendoff 1972 and Ernst 1984, allowed for some flexibility in adverb placement, but noted certain regularities. Work on other aspects of clausal structure, such as Emonds 1976 and Platzack 1983, exploited the regularities, taking adverbs to mark phrasal boundaries, and used them to demonstrate the movement of other elements across them.
