ADJUNCT, DISJUNCT, CONJUNCT, SUBJUNCT. What´s the difference? Can you give me some examples?
This is referring to grammatical functions of adverbials-Thanks Erik- I know the meaning of the words, i just can´t figure out what´s the difference in the functions of the adverbials.

Answer

Your question is really about the prefixes.

"AD-"  =   additional; extra; not main

"DIS-" =  away from; opposite

"CON-" = together; with

"SUB-" = underneath; below; less than

The root "junct" means "to join".

So:

ad + junct =  joined as an extra part, not part of the main

dis + junct = no longer joined; the opposite of what was joined

con + junct =  joined with something else

sub + junct = joined below, underneath or as less than something else
