... On the one hand, both adverbs and prepositions are uninflected, with adverbs differing from prepositions in having phrasal status. Reductionist approaches have therefore proposed to analyze at least some adverbs as intransitive, i.e. objectless, prepositions; e.g. Jackendoff (1972), Wunderlich (1984 ...
