Time Manner Place is a term used in linguistic typology to state the general order of adpositional phrases in a language's sentences: "yesterday by car to the store". It is common among SOV languages. Japanese and German belong to this category. The other common order for adpositional phrases is Place Manner Time, which is exemplified by English and French.


An example in German is:

Ich fahre heute mit dem Auto nach München.
I drive today with the car to Munich.
I will drive to Munich by car today.


The temporal phrase heute (="today") comes first, the manner mit dem Auto (="by car") is second, and the place, nach München (="to Munich") is third.


(One way is remember the order in German is the acronym ZAP: Zeit (time), Art (manner), Platz (place).)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Time (1388 words)

Of this quantitative increment time is the representation.
As the parts of time, he says, are to each other in the relation of cause to effect, and as the cause is essentially antecedent to its effect, it is impossible to reverse this relation.
Signtronix (2950 words)
In other words, it is correct to state that government may place reasonable time, place and manner restrictions on speech that takes place in a public forum, but these types of restrictions must be equipped without regard to the content of the speech.(22) This is to ensure that there is no abuse of power.
Time is simply defined as when a message may be displayed; place is where the message may be displayed, and how the message is presented is the manner of the conveyance.
And the ordinance was not genuinely concerned with the place (front lawns) or the manner (signs) of the speech, but rather proscribes particular types of signs based on their content because the township feared their "primary" effect - that they would cause those receiving the information to act upon it.
