This paper examines John Lyons' version of the widely postulated theory that existential there derives synchronically from a locative adverbial. It is argued that Lyons' hypothesis (and by implication other synchronic locative-based analyses of existential there) is false. An alternative analysis is offered, in which it is claimed that existential there is an NP, inserted for syntactic and pragmatic reasons. Diachronic and crosslinguistic evidence is cited in support of this view
