| Description | The present paper investigates adverbial structures in resolutions, taking the example of UNESCO documents, and is a part of a larger study which analyses stylistic variation within the text type of resolutions. Since resolutions have a particular audience, purpose, form, content and style, they may be reasonably considered a genre (as defined by Swales (1990)), and therefore the linguistic features under analysis will be regarded as genre-specific. The primary aim of the research is to describe stylistically relevant adverbial structures occurring in the texts and to consider their function in the text. |
