Syntactic function nab.adS
abstract noun preceding and modifying a sentence.
Sentential adverbs deriving from abstract nouns are fairly common. We have so far only assembled a few. The distinction between nab.adS and nab.adV is obviously not only problematic but possibly insubstantial when S is a verbal sentence and therefore syntactically and essentially a VP.
