Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to clarify syntactic and semantic properties of viewpoint subjuncts of English-a subdivision of English adverbials. Quirk et al. (1985) recently introduced the adverbial category of subjuncts that had formerly been subsumed under the adverbial category of adjuncts in Quirk et al. (1972). They furthermore proposed to divide the category of subjuncts into the two large groups: wide orientation and narrow orientation, both of which contain various adverbial categories of English. The following gives a brief outline of my assertion in this paper~ Wide orientation subjuncts of Quirk et al. (1 985) include viewpoint subjuncts and courtesy ones; both of them are markedly different from each other in a morphological aspect as well as in syntactic' aspects, only having the comparatively wide range of their movability in common. Their classification of wide orientation subjuncts has therefore a very unsolid foundation.
