Universal 1396: locative argument reduced adverbials ⇒ temporal argument-reduced adverbials

Original
If a language has predicate-reduced adverbials, then at least some of them will have temporal arguments. Thus, if reductions with locative arguments occur in a given language, then reductions with temporal arguments also will occur in that language.
Standardized
IF there are locative argument-reduced adverbials, THEN there are temporal argument-reduced adverbials.
