All languages have non-reduced adverbial constructions. If a language has reduced adverbials, these are always more restricted in their privileges of occurrence than non-reduced adverbials.
All languages have certain superficial grammatical constructions which are used to express predicational relations between a nominal or clausal argument and a predicate of temporal or spatial location, function, direction, etc. Such constructions are most commonly referred to as ADVERBIALS, or, where the predicate constituent is an uninflected word or clitic, as prepositional or postpositional phrases. non-reduced adverbials are certain adverbial predications where at least one predicate constituent with overt noun or pronoun head is present. E. g. at the back of the (house) at – predicate, the back – nominalreduced adverbial constructions are certain adverbial predications which invariably occur without overt predicate/argument constituents. E. g. [N] (predicate-reduced) John went home. (locative argument) The party was yesterday (temporal argument) *The party was on/in/at yesterday. [P] (argument-reduced) John went out. (locative predicate) He had never dance before. (temporal predicate)
