The point here is that Okrand tells us how one adverbial functions in a sentence. He leaves us clueless as to how multiple adverbials would interact, or even if they don’t interact at all and merely both add their meaning to the main verb.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I’m not saying that’s how it works. It just seems to have never occurred to Maltz that anybody would want to put two adverbials in one sentence.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">For that matter, it could be the case that an adverbial has a slot in the sentence’s grammar just like a suffix has a “Type” slot on a noun or verb. You can’t have two suffixes of the same type. Maybe we can’t have two adverbials.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Canon could prove otherwise, of course.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I’m grinning at the activity I’m sure I just sparked among those who keep up with canon and organize their search capabilities...</div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="">
