Reviews for Adjunct Adverbials in English
'… everything has been solidly compiled, exemplified, quantified and argued. … Undoubtedly, Hasselgård's 2010 monograph is a worthy addition to the classics on English adverbials written in the Greenbaumian tradition and will for the foreseeable future remain the standard reference on the topic.' Bernd Kortmann, Journal of English Language and Linguistics
