ABSTRACT
The adjunctival group is that class of the unit 'group' which operates at clause elements, adjunct, linking-conjunction and binding-conjunction Adjunctival groups fall into two types: the prepositional and the adverbial. The prepositional group obligatorily consists of a preposition and a prepositional complement. The prepositional complement is always expounded by a rankshifted nominal group. The adverbial group consists of a pivotal element, which may be preceded by a temperer and or followed by a finisher. What value the pivotal element has depends upon which clause element the group is operating at; if the adjunct, then the value 'vortex', if linking-conjunction, then 'linker', and if binding-conjunction, 'binder'. The vortex element is expounded by the adverb. It is possible to recognise several different subclasses of adverb on morphological grounds, but people shall not do this. People shall simply mention some as an aid to identification of this class of word.
