Where to put adverbs of manner?
I would say that basically here is more of a comment adverb than an adverb of manner. Comment adverbs are most common in the front position or the mid-position.
- Basically, this table was made out of wood.
- This table was basically made out of wood.
You can put basically at the end, but then it tends to come across as an afterthought:
- This table was made out of wood, basically.
An adverb of manner is most often found in mid-position. But, unlike a comment adverb, it is more common at the end than the beginning:
- This table was quickly made out of wood.
- This table was made out of wood quickly.
- ?Quickly this table was made out of wood.
