Peer comment(s):

agree Mapleton : A circumstantial complement could be an adverbial phrase, such as in "He will arrive BY TRAIN". However, it could just as easily be a single word, as in "He will arrive TODAY".

agree Nina Iordache : yes, but: the Adverbial Phrase belongs to Morphology, while the other term belongs to Syntax.
