"backwards slowly" or "slowly backwards"
... that's the question.
Do you say
(a) He moved backwards slowly.
or
(b) He moved slowly backwards.
?
I'm sure that (a) is correct, but what about (b) ?
Thanks in advance!

(c) He slowly moved backwards.
Any of them. In order of use: a, b, c.
(d) Slowly, he moved backwards.
For me its "backwards slowly"
I've got a bit of a Latin influence on my syntax so adjectives come after verbs
Lex.... it's adverb. But I know what you mean.
Thank you very much for your answers and additional word orders.

a) is correct.
Have you noticed Star Trek "boldly goes" when it should "go boldly"?.
#1, sure.
First, where; then how.
Except if you want to put emphasis on 'how' or 'he'.
