G. Evans on Adverbs - Dictionary of Arguments
II 211 Adverb/Evans: Standard adverbs: Example "breathless". Intensional adverbs: Example "good as King". Both receive the separation rule SR as valid - none involves functions of sets to subsets. Davidson: Separation rule: attribution of sets of events to adverbs and sets of n+1-tuples, of events and n-tuples of objects, to verbs. Problem: to find an appropriate separation rule for "good". II 220 Adverb/Evans: an adverb is assigned to a set of events: it really is a (single or multi-digit) predicate. E.g., "carefree": sentence adverb - "before": no sentence link. Definite Description/Evans: not a term. >Descriptions. BrandomVsEvans: a description is in fact a term. >Descriptions/Brandom._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
