CaGELでは、従属節の分類に名詞節、形容詞節、副詞節というカテゴリーを使わないようです。
***
We do not make use of the traditional categories of noun clause, adjective clause, and adverb clause. In the first place, functional analogies between subordinate clauses and word categories do not provide a satisfactory basis for classification. And secondly, a high proportion of traditional adverb (or adverbial) clauses are on our analysis PPs consisting of a preposition as head and a content clause as complement: before <you mentioned it>, if <it rains>, because <they were tired>, and so on.
*** CaGEL p.62 (原書では<…>は下線)
CaGELでは、伝統文法でいう副詞節は前置詞句(preposition phrase)扱い。
例えば、because they were tiredは、「becauseという前置詞(!)を主要部とし、内容節<they were tired>を補部とする前置詞句」とされる。
