CHAPTER X
THE ADVERBIAL CLAUSE OF PLACE
Function.—Just as all events occur at some time, so do they also occur in some place. We have not many adverbs of place in English, and few of these are very definite; for example, here, there, yonder, somewhere, anywhere, hither, thither, up, down, in. Hence we usually tell place by means of prepositional phrases, and we have many prepositions of place, such as above, across, along, amid, among, around, at, before, behind, below, beneath, beside, between, beyond, in, on, over, up. The value of the prepositional phrase denoting place is seen in the following sentence from Longfellow, which contains three such phrases:
“It stood upon the brink of a little glassy pool whose tranquil bosom was the image of a quiet and secluded life, and stretched its parental arms over a rustic bench that had been constructed beneath it for the accommodation of the foot traveler, or, perchance, some idle dreamer like myself.”
