Thanks, John Lawler, but your answer is a little confusing for me. Jonn Lawler is saying that Here is my car has exactly the same components as My car is here. And he debunks both the noun and adverb theories for here in either permutation in tchrist's link above. And he would probably not agree with my labelling here 's word class in this usage as locative particle , as he concentrates on constructions.
Thanks, Edwin, but I really didn't get it as I don't know what a locative partiple is, but I'm on to it right now and hope to be familiar with the term very shortly. You probably won't find the term - the argument still rages. Most people interested in this field try to use a word-class structure to help with the analysis of English, but most don't agree on which one to use. Many would admit that classifying this usage of here as either noun or adverb is counter-intuitive and counter-productive; if anything, John is here models on John is cold , where the extra information is about John rather than the 'being' ie existing - and so adjectival.
But moving to John came here ; John is home now , we see that the label 'adjective' is also wrong. Show 5 more comments. Featured on Meta. Now live: A fully responsive profile.
