Summary
On Latin Adverbs was originally published in 1972. This is an unchanged reprint. Certain topics have continued to interest me, notably the hierarchical structure of sentences and the positions in that hierarchy where adverbs can be found, as well as coordination. I refer those interested in my later writings on these topics to: Harm Pinkster ‘Attitudinal and illocutionary satellites in Latin’, in: Words in Their Places, ed. by H. Aertsen et al., Amsterdam, Free University 2004, pp. 191-198; Harm Pinkster ‘La coordination’, L’information grammaticale 46 (1990), pp. 8-13. Much of the book was used for my Latin Syntax and Semantics (see: http://cybergreek.uchicago.edu/lss/) and will be used in my forthcoming Latin Syntax.
