Sometimes "both" can be "Adverb"?
Please loot at the following sentence.
"Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong and Italian Prime Minister Mario Monu have both expressed their delight at the establishment of a strategic partnership between Vietnam and Italy"
When looking at the location of "both", it is perfectly for an adverb. I've checked the speeches of "both" in my dictionary which has said it is only a pronoun. There is no role of adverb.
Could you tell me whether the location of the "both" is right?

Son James Could you tell me whether the location of the "both" is right? It is right. The words "both" and "all" can be moved to the right, where they may seem to occupy the position of adverbs, but that doesn't make them adverbs.
