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