...bring further empirical support to our proposal by extending it to wh-interrogatives and by discussing the similarities between FRs and the NPs that have been called bare-NP adverbs or adverbial NPs (=-=Emonds 1976-=-, 1987, Larson 1985, McCawley 1988). We also show that potential alternative accounts that make different assumptions about the nature of where, when, and how are unable to account for the data. 1 Two...

... exhibit the same double syntactic/semantic behavior as FRs. Larson (1985) labels them bare NP-adverbs, while McCawley (1988) calls them adverbial NPs.
