I have learnt that "Adverbial Adjuncts" are adverbs or equivalent to adverbs. The words, phrases or clauses which show how, when, why, where an action is performed, are adverbial adjuncts.
Please consider the following sentences.
1) There is a man here.
2) There was once a king in India, named Dasaratha.
In the sentences above, the first "There" has entirely lost its force as an adverb of place, and is used only to introduce the sentence.
Therefore, can I analyse it as an "adverbial adjunct" or treat it as "introductory"?
