Adverb-marking in coordinate constructions 187
being represented as X and Y-ly. In X-ly and Y, the type represented by (9c), it is
now the second adverb that has the zero form and the first that is suffixed. Finally,
in a context similar to that found in (5) and (9c), we find in (9d) the type X and
Y, where the adverbs in both conjuncts are of the zero or conversion form. It is
the syntactic context found in (9) that will form the focus of the chapter from this
point on; the following section will discuss the alternatives of adverb formationtype
in more detail.
. Patterns of adverbial coordination in Early and Late Modern English
.1 X-ly and Y-ly
As stated in Section 2, when two adverbs or adverb phrases are conjoined in written
text, they are most likely to follow the formation pattern X-ly and Y-ly. This is
true throughout the Modern period; examples typical of usage from the sixteenth
to the eighteenth century follow in (10).
(10) a. And both roundlye and frankley they goe to worke …
b.
(Leicester 12/31/1585)
From hence it is that Dutch Merchants Wives frequently, when their
Husbands are abroad in Trade, or any other business, order and govern their
Trades as diligently and discreetly as if they were at home (Coke 1670)
c. …the different Species and Sizes of Buggs, as well as one correctly
and finely magnified. (Southall 1730)
The coordination of ly-adverbs is a salient feature of some formal text types, such
as the legal or religious text. In trial proceedings, for example, this type of adverb
coordination appears formulaically in the statement of accusation, as in (11), as
well as in other portrayals of the accused’s conduct. Similarly, the oath required of
the recruit (12) contains such a structure.
(11) Nicholas Throckmorton Knighte, hold vp thy hande, Thou art before this
time indited of High Treason, &c. that thou then and there didst falsly and
traiterously, &c. conspire and imagine the Death of the Queenes Majestie …
And it please you, my Lords, I doubt not to proue euidently and manifestly, that
Throckmorton is worthely and rightly indicted and araigned of these Treasons …
(Throckmorton 1554)
(12) I swear or affirm (as the case may be) to be true to the UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA, and to serve them honestly and faithfully against all their enemies
or opposers whatsoever; and to observe and obey the Orders of the Continental
Congress and the Orders of the General, and officers set over me by them.
(Recruit 1776)
