Qualitative Adverbs
ĻĻ
Circumstantial
Adverbs
denote the circum-
stances of an action
named by a Verb ĺ
Adverbs of Place,
Time, etc.
modify a quality named
by an Adj or Adv ĺ
Adverbs of Degree
(Intensifiers and Down-
toners)
qualify an action
named by a Verb ĺ
Adverbs of Manner
o Morphological categories:
– form only the category of Degrees of Comparison which is only partially real-
ised by a limited group of Qualitative Adverbs. It is formed:
1. synthetically:
(1a) suppletive forms
(1b) forms homonymous with the cognate adjective forms ( + -er, -est)
2. syntactically (more, most)
o Syntactic functions:
– the Adverbial / Adjunct to a Verb;
– the Adverbial Modifier to an Adj / Adv;
– sometimes the Attribute to a Noun which can stand either in postposition or in
preposition to it.
o a very heterogeneous class whose field overlaps with fields of other lexical-
grammatical classes – Prepositions and Conjunctions. Some of them are ho-
monymous though they perform different syntactic functions.
