This document discusses adverbs and their various forms and uses. It covers:
1. Adverbs can modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. They are often movable and add emphasis or nuance.
2. The '-ly' suffix is commonly used to derive adverb forms from adjectives describing manner. Not all adjectives can form adverbs this way.
3. Other suffixes like '-ward' and '-wise' also derive specialized adverbs. Some adjectives form adverbs with metaphorical meanings.
4. Comparisons for '-ly' adverbs use 'more' rather than '-er.' Adverbs without suffixes are identified by context and position.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. What's an Adverb?
• Adverbs are one of the form classes in
grammar.
• They are the hardest to pin down in terms of
both form and position.
• Many adverbs have no distinguishing affixes.
• Adverbs do not fill required slots in sentence
patterns, except in Pattern I.
• Certain verbs in Patterns VI and VII, such as lay,
put, place, and set, do require adverbials.
3. Moveable Adverbs
• Adverbs are often movable, which is a
distinguishing characteristic.
• They can be placed in various positions within a
sentence.
• The flexibility of adverbs to move allows for different
emphasis and nuances in the sentence.
4. Adverbs for Traditional Grammar
• The class we call "adverb" differs from the
traditional grammar's definition of "adverb."
• In traditional grammar, adverbs are defined as
words that modify a verb, adjective, or another
adverb.
• This traditional definition includes "qualifiers" that
intensify or qualify the meaning of adjectives and
adverbs (e.g., very nice, quite slow, rather quickly).
5. Adverbs for Traditional Grammar
Let's take a look at some examples of traditional
adverbs:
• He runs quickly. (modifying the verb "runs")
• She sings beautifully. (modifying the verb "sings")
• It's extremely hot today. (modifying the adjective
"hot")
• They are quite skilled. (modifying the adjective
"skilled")
• The car moves very slowly. (modifying the adverb
"slowly")
6. Defining Adverb
• Our definition of "adverb" is based on their
inflectional and derivational affixes and the words
that signal them.
• We classify adverbs as a distinct form class based
on their unique characteristics.
• The definition of "adverbial" is related to a function
in a sentence, not a word class.
7. Adverb Derivational Suffixes
• One common indicator of form for adverbs is the
derivational suffix "-ly."
• We use "-ly" to derive adverbs of manner from
adjectives, which describe how or in what way an
action is performed with respect to the verb.
• Example: He walked slowly.
9. -ly Suffix and Its Usage
• The "-ly" suffix can be added to both nouns and
adjectives to form adverbs.
• Examples:
⚬ Nouns to adverbs: folly (from fool), lovely (from
love), ugly (from ugliness).
⚬ Adjectives to adverbs: quickly (from quick),
smoothly (from smooth).
10. -ly Suffix and Its Usage
Let's begin with examples of how the "-ly" suffix can
transform nouns into adverbs:
• Noun: folly → Adverb: foolishly
• Sentence: He acted foolishly during the meeting.
• Noun: lovely → Adverb: lovingly
• Sentence: The mother gazed lovingly at her
newborn baby.
• Noun: ugly → Adverb: uglily
• Sentence: The old building was constructed rather
uglily.
11. Restrictions on
Adjective-to-Adverb
Transformation
• Not all adjectives can become manner adverbs; restrictions are based on
meaning.
• Adjectives describing states, fixed characteristics, or inherent qualities tend
not to become manner adverbs.
• Examples of such adjectives: tall, old, fat, young, short, thick, large, flat,
round, red.
12. Restrictions on
Adjective-to-Adverb
Transformation
Let's take a look at examples of adjectives that cannot be transformed into manner adverbs:
• Tall: She grew taller every year. (Correct)
• He ran tallly across the field. (Incorrect)
• Old: The book is old and worn. (Correct)
• The tree swayed oldly in the breeze. (Incorrect)
• Fat: He is gaining weight and becoming fatter. (Correct)
• She smiled fattily at the joke. (Incorrect)
13. Specialized Adverbs
from Objective
Adjectives
• Some objective or stative adjectives may become manner adverbs, but
with specialized, often metaphorical meanings.
• Examples: shortly (from short), hardly (from hard), flatly (from flat), squarely
(from square).
14. Specialized Adverbs
from Objective
Adjectives
Let's examine some examples of specialized adverbs derived from objective adjectives:
• Adjective: short → Adverb: shortly
• Meaning: Shortly refers to a brief or concise period of time.
• Example: The meeting will end shortly.
• Adjective: hard → Adverb: hardly
• Meaning: Hardly means almost not or barely.
• Example: He hardly had any time to spare.
15. Other Derivational
Suffixes for Adverbs
• Besides "-ly," two other derivational suffixes create adverbs: "-ward" and "-wise."
• "-ward" indicates direction in words like homeward, forward, backward, upward,
downward.
• "-wise" indicates manner and includes both old usages (e.g., otherwise,
lengthwise, crosswise) and newer, potentially unnecessary jargon (e.g.,
budgetwise, weatherwise, moneywise, profitwise).
16. Other Derivational
Suffixes for Adverbs
Examples:
• Homeward: They journeyed homeward after the vacation.
• Forward: The team moved forward with their plans.
• Backward: He stumbled backward after the sudden push.
• The "-wise" suffix is used to indicate manner, showing how something is done or the way it is
related.
Examples:
• Otherwise: She was busy; otherwise, she would have joined us.
• Lengthwise: Cut the fabric lengthwise to make it longer.
• Crosswise: Place the boards crosswise to form a stable structure.

19. Correct Answers
• "immediately" and "directly" are adverbs.
• "directly" is an adverb.
• "always" is an adverb, and "friendly" is an adjective.
• There are no "-ly" words in this sentence.
• "particularly" is an adverb, and "neighborly" is an adjective.
• "manly" is an adjective.
• "hardly" is an adverb.
• "flatly" is an adverb.
21. Comparative and
Superlative F orms
• The comparative (-er) and superlative (-est) inflections
apply to adverbs and adjectives, but the use with adverbs is
more limited.
• The comparative form of -ly adverbs is often formed by
adding "more" rather than -er.
• The superlative degree with -ly adverbs (e.g., most suddenly,
most favorably) is rare in both speech and writing. It draws
attention to itself and is usually the main focus of the
sentence.
22. Flat Adverbs
• Some adverbs are formed from adjectives without
the addition of -ly. These are known as flat adverbs.
• Examples of flat adverbs: early, late, hard, fast, long,
high, low, deep, near.
• Flat adverbs can take -er and -est to form
comparative and superlative degrees, along with a
few others like soon and often. Most -ly adverbs use
"more" and sometimes "most" to form comparisons.
23. Examples
• Here are some examples of flat adverbs:
⚬ early: She arrived early for the meeting.
⚬ late: They stayed out late last night.
⚬ hard: He works hard every day.
⚬ fast: The car drove fast down the highway.
⚬ long: They waited long for the bus.
⚬ high: The kite flew high in the sky.
⚬ low: The temperature dropped low during the
night.
⚬ deep: The diver went deep into the ocean.
⚬ near: The grocery store is located near the park.
24. Adverbs Without Affixes
• Many adverbs lack derivational or inflectional affixes that
distinguish them as adverbs.
• Instead, we recognize them based on the information they
provide, their position in the sentence, and their movability.
• Examples of adverbs without affixes:
⚬ Time: now, today, nowadays, yesterday
⚬ Duration: already, always, still, yet
• Frequency: often, seldom, never, sometimes, always
• Location: there, here, everywhere, somewhere,
elsewhere, upstairs, abroad, outside, nearby
• Direction: away, thence
• Concession: still, yet
• Sequence: afterward, next, then
25. Prepositions and Adverbs
• Some words, such as above, around, behind, below,
down, in, inside, out, outside, up, can serve as either
prepositions or adverbs.
• These words do not have distinct forms as
prepositions or adverbs, and their usage depends
on the context.
26. Examples
• Above:
⚬ Preposition: The plane is flying above the clouds.
⚬ Adverb: The kite soared above.
• Around:
⚬ Preposition: Let's take a walk around the park.
⚬ Adverb: She twirled around.
• In:
⚬ Preposition: The keys are in the drawer.
⚬ Adverb: He walked in.
27. Something to
Ponder
• Adverbs can be derived using suffixes like "-ly," "-ward," and "-wise" to
modify adjectives and create words that express manner, direction, or
particular qualities.
• Understanding adverb derivational suffixes enhances our understanding of
how language is formed and used in various contexts.
• Adverb inflectional suffixes provide comparative and superlative degrees
for some adverbs, but the majority use "more" and "most" for comparisons.
• Adverbs without affixes are recognized by their function, position, and
mobility in sentences.
• Understanding the various forms of adverbs enhances our comprehension
of their roles in language.
