Abstract
The necessity of a subdivision of the functors as bearers of the main semantic features in the Functional Generative Description as well as in the annotation scenario for the Prague Dependency Treebanks into more grained units called there subfunctors is presented here. The discussion is focused on the spatial and temporal functors as the most frequently occurring modification types.
The book consists of the four parts. - Part I: Theoretical introduction to the description of adverbials analysis (repertory of functors, boundary between functors and subfunctors, principles of subfunctor determination, synonymy and ambiguity in form-function relation, determination of the class of secondary prepositions). - Part II: Corpus-based, detailed and comprehensive description of spatial and temporal modification - Part III: Two comparative studies. - Part IV: Overview of proposed functors and subfunctors
