It proposes a treatment of these adverbials which accounts for their impact on the manner of the event as well as for their agent-orientation. The analysis is developed in a case study of German \u003cem\u003esorgf?ltig\u003c\/em\u003e ('carefully') and \u003cem\u003evorsichtig\u003c\/em\u003e ('cautiously') and makes use of the philosophical concept of \u003cem\u003eaction-plans\u003c\/em\u003e. It is proposed that the modifier \u003cem\u003esorgf?ltig\u003c\/em\u003e has impact on the given goal of the agent while \u003cem\u003evorsichtig\u003c\/em\u003e introduces an additional goal of minimizing risk. The modification of the goal restricts the possible methods of realization of the action, i.e. the manner of action. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The analysis makes use of Goldman's Theory of Human Action and is spelled out in D?sseldorf Frame Theory, including extensions in the form of Cascade Theory and the semantic adaptation of models of intention from the philosophical literature. Altogether, the formalization involves a detailed representation of actions and plans, i.e. of intentionality, necessary to capture the complexity of a number of modification phenomena. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ekaterina Gabrovska\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3110754967\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110754964\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dusseldorf University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/13\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.45d","brand":"Ekaterina Gabrovska","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46199178920191,"sku":"9783110754964","price":68.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a117680e-e66f-4deb-9048-25fdeb02af67.jpg?v=1727925279","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/agent-oriented-manner-adverbials-in-german-ekaterina-gabrovska-9783110754964","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
