    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; adverbs; adjectives; parts of speech; prototypes; categorization; modification; constructions; Linguistics; lingvistik;

    Abstract : The notion adverb is often treated as encompassing leftover items in a class that shows little consistency both within and ​across languages.
