Abstract

Adverbs, their placement, and their licensing conditions have been the focus of a number of recent (language-specific and crosslinguistic) studies (e.g., Alexiadou 1997, Ernst 1998, Laenzlinger 1998, and Cinque 1999, among others). Pittner's book complements these studies by offering a detailed investigation of adverbials in German. The book is divided into six main chapters. In what follows I give a brief critical overview of the contents of the study, and I finish my discussion by addressing some general theoretical issues treated by Pittner.
