The phrase looks strange to me. Emerge is a verb, why can an adjective followed it? I only know the verbs like feel, look, smell can be used in the form of v.+adj. Is emerge the same kind of words? And how about "victory emerge" ?
Any number of verbs can be followed by an adjective, as long as the adjective describes the subject and not the action. John returned flushed and angry. Because we finally had a full night's sleep, we awoke refreshed and rested.
ei (^_^) are you sure this is not a typo? 'emerge' can precede an adverb and if we are to put it in a context 'emerge victoriously' rather makes sense.
"Emerge victoriously" and "emerge victorious" are two different expressions that mean two different things. "Emerge victoriously" describes the act of emerging; "victoriously" describes the manner in which the person emerged. "Emerge victorious" describes the person who emerged; "victorious" is an attribute of that person.
Emerge victorously and emerge victorious do not mean the same thing. [EDIT: Nunty types waaaayyyy too fast...]
