Adverb/Evans: Standard adverbs: Example "breathless".
Intensional adverbs: Example "good as King".
Both receive the separation rule SR as valid - none involves functions of sets to subsets.
Davidson: Separation rule: attribution of sets of events to adverbs and sets of n+1-tuples, of events and n-tuples of objects, to verbs.
Problem: to find an appropriate separation rule for "good".

Adverb/Evans: an adverb is assigned to a set of events: it really is a (single or multi-digit) predicate.
E.g., "carefree": sentence adverb - "before": no sentence link.
Definite Description/Evans: not a term. >Descriptions
.
BrandomVsEvans: a description is in fact a term. >Descriptions/Brandom.
