Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1852 edition. Excerpt: . . . CHAPTER XXIV. THE SYNTAX OF ADVERBS. 496. The syntax of the adverb is simpler than that of any other part of speech, excepting, perhaps, that of the adjective. Adverbs have no concord. Neither have they any government. They seem, indeed, to have it, when they are in the comparative or superlative degree; but it is merely apparent. In this is better than that, the word that is governed neither by better nor by than. It is not governed at all. It is a nominative case; the eubject of a separate proposition. This is better (i. e. , more good) than that is good. Even if we admit such an expression as he is stronger than me to be good English, there is no adverbial government. Than, if it govern me at all, governs it as a preposition. The position of an adverb is, in respect to matters of syntax, pre-eminently parenthetic; i. e. , it may be omitted without injuring the construction. He is fighting--now; he was fighting--then; he fights--bravely; lam almost--tired, and c. 497. By referring to the Chapter on the Adverbs, we shall find that the neuter adjective is frequently converted into an adverb by deflection. As any neuter adjective may be so deflected, we may justify such expressions as full (for fully) as conspicuous (for conspicuously), and peculiar (for peculiarly) bad grace, and c. We are not, however, bound to imitate everything that we can justify. 498. The termination-ly was originally adjectival. At present it is a derivational syllable by which we can convert an adjective into an adverb: brave, brave ly. When, however, the adjective ends in-ly already, the formation is awkward. eat my daily bread is unexceptionable English; eat my bread daily is exceptionable. One of two things must here take place: the two. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN.
