ABSTRACT

This study aims to examine the grammatical basis of ‘NP+Adv’ constructions and to type them according to the syntactic relation between their internal constituents(that is a noun phrase and an adverb) and a predicate. ‘NP+Adv’ constructions are based on the semantic relation between a noun phrase and an adverb. An adverb in ‘NP+Adv’ construction is incomplete in meaning, and a noun phrase supplements the incomplete meaning of an adverb. ‘NP+Adv’ constructions are syntactically classified into two types, that is an adverb expansion AdvP and an adverbial consolidation AdvP. The adverb expansion AdvP is a construction that an adverb is syntactically related to a predicate and it is expanded by a noun phrase. The adverbial consolidation AdvP is a construction that two adverbial constituents(that is an adverbial noun phrase and an adverb) are consolidated into one. But not all adverbial constituents can be consolidated into one. They have to be semantically related to each other.
