Locative Small Clause with Ad anchor: Tnx0nx1ARB

Description:

These trees are not anchored by verbs, but by adverbs that are part of locative adverbial phrases. Locatives are explained in much greater detail in the section on the locative modifier trees (see section 20.6). The only remarkable aspect of this tree family is the wh-moved locative tree, W1nx0nx1ARB, shown in Figure 6.45. This is the only tree family with this type of transformation, in which the entire adverbial phrase is wh-moved but not all elements are replaced by wh items (as in how many city blocks away is the record store?). Locatives that consist of just the locative adverb or the locative adverb and a degree adverb (see Section 20.6 for details) are treated as exhaustive PPs and therefore select that tree family (Section 6.29) when used predicatively. For an extensive description of small clauses, see Section 9.3. 26 adverbs select this tree family.

Examples:

ahead, offshore, behind
the crash is three blocks ahead
the naval battle was many kilometers offshore
how many blocks behind was Max?

Declarative tree:

See Figure 6.44.
