This section takes as its starting point the division between VP and clause adverbials introduced in Section 8.1. Sections 8.2.1 and 8.2.2 provide a more detailed semantic subdivision of these adverbials and examine the extent to which the various subcategories pass the adverbial tests introduced in Section 8.1, sub III. Section 8.2.3 concludes with a more detailed discussion of spatiotemporal adverbials: Section 8.1 has shown that these adverbials can be used either as VP adverbials or as clause adverbials, and we will examine the differences in the semantic contribution of these two uses.
