It concentrates on sentences containing adjectival adverbs which are either positioned before or after the direct object. I argue that these adverbs, dependent on their position relative to the direct object, receive either a manner or an event-related interpretation. To derive the different readings, I make use of an underspecified SF. After a discussion of other accounts for the data, I will very briefly compare my results to those for local adverbials.</p>}, journal={Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung}, author={Schäfer, Martin}, year={2019}, month={Aug.}, pages={272–281} }
