Extension

The most typical form is an Adverb. We call this “extension”, because an adverb, according to the definition given, is a word that adds to or extends the meaning of the word with which it is connected.

Two points should be noticed:

(1) In the analysis of sentences (not in parsing, which is a different kind of operation), extension applies only to the Finite verb of its own clause if an adverb or adverb-equivalent belongs to any part of a sentence except the Finite verb.

(2) “Extension” means the same thing as “enlargement”. But as one relates to the Finite verb, and the other to the Nominative or its equivalent, it is convenient in analysing sentences to give them separate names.

Enlargement and Extension are sometimes called by the name of Adjunct, the former being of course adjectival the latter adverbial.

(1) Adverb. – He slept soundly.

(2) Prep, with object. – He slept for six hours.

(3) Qualifying Infin. – He came to see the horse.

(4) Adverbial accusative. – Bind him hand and foot.

(5) Absolute phrase. – We all set off, he remaining behind.

(6) Adverb-Clause. – We all set on, while he remained behind.
