+<h1> Adverb: Adverbs and Adverbial Phrases</h1>
+
+<pre>
+  abstract Adverb = Cat ** {
+  
+    fun
+</pre>
+
+The two main ways of forming adverbs are from adjectives and by
+prepositions from noun phrases.
+<pre>
+      PositAdvAdj : A -> Adv ;                 -- warmly
+      PrepNP      : Prep -> NP -> Adv ;        -- in the house
+</pre>
+
+Comparative adverbs have a noun phrase or a sentence as object of
+comparison.
+<pre>
+      ComparAdvAdj  : CAdv -> A -> NP -> Adv ; -- more warmly than John
+      ComparAdvAdjS : CAdv -> A -> S  -> Adv ; -- more warmly than he runs
+</pre>
+
+Adverbs can be modified by 'adadjectives', just like adjectives.
+<pre>
+      AdAdv  : AdA -> Adv -> Adv ;             -- very quickly
+</pre>
+
+Like adverbs, adadjectives can be produced by adjectives.
+<pre>
+      PositAdAAdj : A -> AdA ;                 -- extremely
+</pre>
+
+Subordinate clauses can function as adverbs.
+<pre>
+      SubjS  : Subj -> S -> Adv ;              -- when she sleeps
+</pre>
+
+Comparison adverbs also work as numeral adverbs.
+<pre>
+      AdnCAdv : CAdv -> AdN ;                  -- less (than five)
+  
+  }
+</pre>
