I'm trying to think of a word...

...a technical term for discussing time phrases. There is a technical
term for phrases discussing place, namely locatives. Is there a term
to discuss time phrases, like 'once' or 'later' or 'until', etc. I
don't want to use the words tense or aspect in discussing these,
because they really are structured more like locative phrases. Maybe
"temporal phrases"?

Thanks,
Sylvia
