2010/1/4 David Trimboli <[email protected]>: > TKD defines "adverbial" to be a specific list of words Does it? The phrasing is 5.4 Adverbials These words usually come at the beginning of a sentence and describe the manner of the activity. It seems like you're interpreting "these words" to refer to the list, but to me the phrase seems to refer to "adverbials".
