RELATIVE ADVERBS IN THE CONTEXT OF VERBS AND ADJECTIVES (ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL CORPUS OF THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE’ DATA)

The paper is devoted to adverbs with noun roots, derived from the relative substantive adjectives: avarijno (‘emergency’), administrativno (‘administratively’), anatomicheski(‘anatomically’), kommercheski (‘commercially’), medicinski (‘medically’), muzykal’no(‘musically’), nauchno (‘scientifically’), promyshlenno (‘industrially’), professional’no(‘professionally’), social’no (‘socially’), territorial’no (‘geographically’), tekhnicheski(‘technically’), fizicheski (‘physically’), finansovo (‘financially’), himicheski (‘chemically’), ekonomicheski (economically), yuridicheski (‘legally’), etc. Such adverbs are numerous, as evidenced by data from the National corpus of the Russian language (RNC), though not all of them are included even in electronic dictionaries, not to mention paper dictionaries. They are used mainly in written and oral literary speech. Relative adverbs are considered in terms of their ability to express the valence of predicate words — verbs and adjectives. Relative adjectives can express valences of the subject, object, instrument, and also be used in the meaning of functional space and aspect. Relative adverbs with verbs practically refer to the actants, with the exception of means (oboznachit’ bukvenno ‘to denote by letters’) and aspects (Administrativno i geograficheski oblast’ delitsya na dve chasti ‘administratively and geographically the region is divided into two parts’). Relative adverbs in the context of adjectives refer mainly to the aspect (ekonomicheski privlekatel’nyj ‘economically attractive’, kommercheski uspeshnyj ‘commercially successful’). Aspect (sphere) is a specific valence of interpretative words.
