  3. Basic Notions 1- The term ADVERB is used to include heterogeneous lexical terms which have few common characteristics. 2- Traditionally, adverbs mean adverbs of time, adverb of place and adverbs of manner. 3- Many adverbs end in (ly). 4-Arab grammarians traditionally classify adverbs into ظروف الزمان and ظروف المكان.

  6. Criterion of Distinction The distinction of adverbs into adjuncts, disjuncts and conjuncts is based on their integration in a clause. CONTRASTIVE GRAMMAR

  7. ADJUNCTS 1- They cannot usually occur initially in a negative sentence: * Quickly he didn’t walk. 2- They can be contrasted with another adverb in the interrogative sentence: Did he walk quickly or slowly? 3- They can be contrasted with another adverb in the negative sentence: He didn’t walk quickly; he walked slowly. CONTRASTIVE GRAMMAR

  8. Disjunct or Conjunct The main difference between disjunct and conjunct is related to attitude.
