Synopsis

This paper draws up some general questions concerning the adverbs as a part of speech and the question of their linear surface order. Drawing on Danish examples, the paper suggests that investigation into adverb phrases and the implications of their position rules might lead to new and unexpected results concerning syntax, learnability, and cognition.
