Abstract
This study is concerned with the syntactic order of adverbials in Standard English. It is motivated by the fact that the area of adverbials is an extremely problematic area of English grammar. Hence, it is a fertile issue for investigation. It is hypothesized that the particular problems that adverbials pose lie in the relative distributional freedom they enjoy in the English language. This study also hypothesizes that Iraqi EFL are unaware of the great extent of mobility of the adverbials in English. It aims to check out to what extent Iraqi EFL learners are unaware of the flexibility of adverbials position. The aims are achieved by applying a test to forty students in the third year at the College of Education for Women in Tikrit University.
