EXPLANATORY ADJECTIVES AND ADVERBS Words that encourage the listener to accept the quality of whatever follows: pleasant, useful, surprising, etc.
Images of adverbs Adverbs are remembered in the same way as adjectives. You need to imagine the image of a noun that is most often pronounced with this adverb. Here we must also take into account the fact that an adverb is often very different in meaning from an adjective. " Cheerful man" And
Many qualitative adverbs in -o, -e secured, along with the main one, a syntactically separate predicative meaning. These are the so-called predicative adverbs, or predicates.
Adverbs of degree denote the nature of the intensity of the attribute: fire, scary, terrible, amazing, exceptional; much, too, absolutely, completely; heresgur, extremely, very, completely, completely, so much, twice, five times, barely, barely, barely, barely, gut-gut, slightly, a little, several, decomposition a little bit, a little bit etc. Usually they define an adjective or adverb and, less often, nouns. At the same time, some adverbs are used only with adjectives and adverbs in the positive degree: very interesting, terribly fun, completely free; others - only with adjectives and adverbs in comparative degree: much more interesting, much longer, twice as good; still others - with adjectives and adverbs in both positive and comparative degrees: a little, a little funny, funny, funnier. Some adverbs with the meaning of measure or degree are combined with nouns of qualitatively characterizing meanings: Ogn is not a fool, quite a fool, a bit of a formalist, nails a poet, a romantic heresgur.
Adverbs of degree can be unmotivated ( ogen, barely, hum) and motivated (surprisingly, too much, twice as much). The meaning of a high degree can be contained in a qualitative adverb, for example: absolutely, extraordinarily, incredibly, dreamily, madly, horribly, unheard of, boundless, immeasurably, dazzling, unbearable, intolerable, brilliant, supernatural, comparatively, relatively and etc.
When used to indicate the degree of manifestation of a characteristic, qualitative adverbs usually do not form comparative forms: deathly pale, absolutely deaf, monstrously rich.
Adverbs of adverbs are divided into adverbs of place and direction: near, far, nearby, nearby, at home, home, below, around, from afar, from within, here, there, here, there, from there, everywhere, everywhere, nowhere etc.: time: now, now, tomorrow, during the day, in winter, a long time ago, soon, earlier, the day before, on time, daily, long ago, walked, first, already and etc.; causes: rashly, out of anger, blindly and etc.; goals: out of spite, deliberately, out of laughter, compatibility: together, together, together, in pairs: alone, alone and etc.
The class of adverbs conventionally includes the so-called predicative adverbs, or predicates - words that are separated from the class of adverbs, always occupying the position of the main member or one of the main members of the sentence. They are similar to adverbs in their word-formation structure (the core of predicative adverbs consists of words motivated by qualitative adjectives) and the presence of comparative forms in the vast majority of words. Unlike adverbs, predicatives do not enter into verbal connections as a dependent component, which makes them similar to short adjectives, some nouns and short passive participles in the function of the predicate.
Among the predicative adverbs the following stand out:
Predicative adverbs are a group of words replenished by adverbs containing qualitative meanings: It's snowy and cold inside(Hertz.); And under the mask it was starry(Block); The dance hall is empty and songless(Birth.).
Predicative adverbs also include a group of words with modal meanings of obligation, necessity, and possibility. These adverbs are usually called modal predicates. Modal predicates are independent words, in modern Russian they are not correlated with qualitative adverbs and short adjectives, for example: it is possible, perhaps, it is impossible, it is necessary, it is necessary, it is necessary, it is necessary(obsolete), must.
Predicative adverbs of the first group (as well as the corresponding qualitative adverbs), as well as words perhaps, necessary, necessary form comparative forms: Badly - worse, miserable - stingier, need - more necessary.
Predicative adverbs occupy the position of one of the main members in sentences with the general meaning of a subjective state addressed to an object: The hut was visible; The horn is barely audible; His hand hurts or the position of the main member in sentences with the meaning of a state - non-subjective or related to the subject: Children have fun; Lie - ashamed; Convenient for visitors; To admit is ashamed; It's cold outside.
Modal predicates occupy the position of one of the main members in sentences with the general meaning of the subject state as a possibility, ability, timeliness of carrying out an action, state: I need to go; He must endure; It is necessary to receive the parcel.
Russian language is difficult to learn, lexicon numbers in millions of words, some of which are adverbs. Let's look at what an adverb is in the Russian language and how it is formed.
In contact with
An adverb is a part of speech that indicates a sign of an action or the circumstance under which the action is performed. In sentences they are most often associated with a verb. They have no gender, number, endings, or case. Those who are educated from qualitative adjectives, have a degree of comparison: quiet - quieter, deep - deeper.
Words related to this part of speech are divided into six large groups, each of which has its own questions. Adverb questions in:
There are five ways of education:
The prefix method of formation means adding a prefix. For example: easy - not easy, weak - not weak, there - from there.
In the suffix method, a number of suffixes are added to an adjective or verb. For - these are the suffixes o/e: fast - quickly, smooth - smooth, funny - funny. TO relative adjective the suffix “and” is added: all kinds - in every possible way, masculine - manly, heroic - heroically. From verbs they are formed using the suffixes a/ya, uchi/yuchi s, added to the stem: to be silent - silently, to love - loving, to play - playfully.
By simultaneously adding a suffix and a prefix, the formation occurs as follows:
Compounding method is a method in which a part of speech is formed by merging two words (in in this case using a suffix). Examples of this method are the words barely, in passing.
By transitioning one part of speech to another, the words are formed: home, in the spring, step, a little.
According to the category, they are classified into two large groups: definitive and detailed. Determinatives, denoting the method of performing a particular action, are combined in a sentence or phrase with nouns, as well as verbs and (these types include mode of action, measure and degree). Circumstantial ones focus on the circumstances under which the action was performed (place and time, purpose and reason). Most often they are used with the verb
Relative adverbs perform the functions of allied words in a sentence. Orthographically, these are the same questions, but the lexical meaning is to reveal the main part of the sentence. For example: we don’t know where Vasily Ivanovich lives.
Important! In this case, the word “where” is not a question, but a connecting link between the main and dependent parts and indicates what exactly the speakers do not know.
Examples are word forms: where, when, why, why, from where.
IN school curriculum qualitative adverbs are not separated into a separate group - they are part of the adverbs of manner of action. Formed from qualitative adjectives by adding the suffixes o/e, you can ask the question “how?”: loudly, weakly, cheaply. They can have degrees of comparison: comparative and superlative. For example: loud-louder, weak-weaker, cheap-cheaper.
Predicative adverbs are often used in simple impersonal sentences, performing the function of a predicate. They indicate the state: “difficult”, “quiet”, “calm”, “possible”, “impossible”, “necessary”.
Compare: “math is very difficult for me” (here the word “difficult” is connected with the verb “given”) and “Vanya lost his family in the war. It’s very difficult for him” (the word “difficult” describes the boy’s condition - this is a predicative adverb).
Important! The use of adverbs makes our speech richer, more expressive and beautiful, gives the interlocutor Additional information, and the narrator has the opportunity to accurately describe the events taking place. Without them, modern dialogue will be impossible. Their absence makes our speech dry, causing a feeling of understatement.
Compare two examples:
In the second case, the interlocutor can see the picture of what happened more clearly. Tired in the evening, the author worked late, and even more tired went to bed. In some cases, without adverbs it is completely impossible for sentences to exist. This applies to predicative forms that are predicates. Thus, the sentence “It became quiet in the forest” loses its meaning if it does not contain the word “quiet”, which is a predicative adjective.
Those who are fluent in Russian know how to distinguish an adverb from an adjective, because finding the differences will not be difficult at all. Adjective gives qualitative characteristics subject: sweet tea, blue sky, wooden bridge, New furniture. Syntactically it is connected with a noun, with which it must appear in the same case. The adjective changes according to gender, case and number: southern-southern, southern, southern. It has characteristic endings: -y, -y, -oy, -aya, -yaya, -oe, -ee.
What features help to separate an adverb from an adjective:
A complete list of words related to this part of speech cannot be contained in one article due to the richness of the Russian language. Here is a short list of adverbs that are most often used in everyday life:
Adverb as part of speech. Adverb categories
Russian lessons Adverb
The use of adverbs in speech is necessary, since without them it is impossible to imagine communication, expression of emotions, detailed description current events. These parts of speech have characteristic morphological and syntactic features that make it possible to distinguish them from other words.
An adverb is a part of speech that denotes an action ( Fine prepare, Nice spend time), attribute attribute ( Very Beautiful, strongly warmed up) or a sign of an object ( conversation in a hurry , almost young man). Adverbs are neither inflected nor conjugated. They usually appear in a sentence as an adverbial circumstance ( Everyone has the right free choose a profession; The new leader was Always friendly), although they can also serve as a predicate ( Scattered things — everywhere). In cases where an adverb refers directly to a noun, it acts as an inconsistent definition ( For lunch we were served borscht in Ukrainian and meat Stroganoff style; Shop against was still closed). In any case, the adverb is adjacent to the member of the sentence to which it refers, but is not consistent with it and is not controlled by it.
In my own way overall value Adverbs are divided into two large groups - adverbial and attributive.
Adverbial adverbs name the various circumstances under which an action occurs and mostly refer to a verb, less often to a verbal noun. The following subgroups of adverbs are classified as adverbial adverbs:
Determinative adverbs usually denote quality, quantity or method (manner) of action, less often - the quality of a characteristic or object. Among attributive adverbs, three subgroups are distinguished: qualitative, which express an assessment of an action or attribute ( fast, funny, live, loud, Fine), quantitative, which denote the measure (degree, quantity) of an action, attribute or object ( very, almost, exclusively, a lot of, especially, too much), and mode of action ( run, on horseback, manually, by heart, along with, on foot).
A special subgroup is formed by predicative adverbs (predicates) denoting a state (emotional, physical or other). Unlike other groups of adverbs, they do not act as adverbs, but as the main member of a one-part sentence - a predicate ( In the evenings everyone was boring; There was Cold ). Denoting a state, predicative adverbs are also called the category of state.
Some linguists see the category of state as a special part of speech, including a group of significant words that denote the state of a living being or the surrounding nature and act as the main member (predicate) of a one-part sentence. In this case, the category of state includes: 1) words starting with -o, correlative in meaning with qualitative adverbs that denote a feeling, emotional state ( funny, sad, restless) or physical condition [ hurt, Cold, hot), 2) words ending in -o, not correlative with qualitative adverbs, but denoting an internal state ( ashamed, ashamed, sickening); 3) words with the meanings of obligation, necessity, possibility ( need to, necessary; Maybe), not correlative with qualitative adverbs and short adjectives; 4) words that are nouns in origin (such as laziness, it's a pity, it's time, not the time) and short participles (tina given, planned, ordered), the modal meaning of which is manifested when they are used as a predicate (Not time debate; Solved call a meeting). In contrast to the category of state, the words of other parts of speech with which they correspond act as members of a two-part sentence: My heart is restless Heart restless (predicate in a two-part sentence); It's time leave (main member in a one-part sentence) and The fun has arrived it's time (subject in a two-part sentence).
There are other points of view on the category of condition, presented, in particular, in textbooks of the last decade. What they have in common is the recognition of the convention of distinguishing the category of state in separate part speech, understanding its closeness to adverbs, as indicated by the term “predicative adverbs”, i.e. adverbs usually used as predicates. Differences in the interpretation of this category lie along two lines - the composition of the words that form it, and the type of constructions in which they appear. So, in the textbook ed. V. A. Beloshapkova is classified as a condition only unchangeable words type need to, Can, it's a pity, “capable of performing the function of a predicate.” Because the we're talking about about the predicate, one could conclude that the category of state is the belonging of two-part sentences, but here words like need to, Can, it's a pity cannot be used, since they are accessories only one-part sentences.
In the textbook, ed. L. A. Novikova understands the composition of predicative adverbs more broadly. These include words that mean the mental or physical state of a person ( I'm upset, hurt), states of nature ( Today it's hot, windy), environmental conditions (in the room is dirty, stuffy), different modal assessment of action ( Can, need to, it is forbidden, it's time) and acting “in the function of a predicate of one-component sentences,” which is closest to our understanding of the category of state.
Finally, in “Russian Grammar” of 1990, among the predicative adverbs, the following are distinguished:
Consequently, we are talking about the use of the category of state in one-part and two-part sentences. See, for example, in the manual “Modern Russian Language. Morphology” by A. A. Kamynina: can't pass, he is ashamed; married woman, guns at the ready, the shoes fit.
ADVERB
In their general meaning of non-procedural attribute, adverbs are close to adjectives. This meaning determines the syntactic functions of adverbs: firstly, they define a verb, name or other adverb, connecting to it by adjacency; secondly, adverbs are freely used as a predicate; thirdly, adverbs define the sentence as a whole. All of these adverb functions are described in the Syntax section.
This or that type of relationship that arises from the syntactic connections of adverbs is largely predetermined (and very often limited) by the lexical meanings of the adverbs themselves: everywhere fog or road home - determination by place, Today rain or meeting In the evening - determination by time, Very amusing– definition by measure, degree.
To the unmotivated
Adverbs primarily include words that name a characteristic as this or that circumstance: time: yesterday, Tomorrow, Then, When, Sometimes, Always, Bye, Now, now(obsolete), already, after; places: over there, away, Here, Where, near, near, near, there, here, there, here, Where, everywhere; image and method of action: all of a sudden, How, So, otherwise; degrees or measures: so many(obsolete so), How many(obsolete how much), Very, almost, barely, barely, a little.Predicative adverbs in - O, as well as the word need to form comparative forms. degrees: To him became worse ; It was becoming colder ; On street more deserted , how in the morning; WITH you us will more fun .
Adverbs, mostly unmotivated, are associated with auxiliary parts of speech: they serve as the basis for the formation of particles (see §), prepositions (see §) and conjunctions (see §). These are the adverbs near, along, inside, near, around, all around, by, against, near, on top, near, behind, after, in the middle, before, against, above, behind, through, among, exactly, smooth(simple) Bye, for now, only, only, barely, then, Then, besides, So, That's why, Then. From pronominal adverbs relative (conjunctive) words are formed: Where, Where, where, For what, Why(cm. § -).
By connecting two words, the preposition as a grammatical unit is simultaneously addressed to both of them; this is found primarily with strong and regularly predictable weak syntactic connections; For example, consist from particles: consist from And from particles; speak O in fact – speak O And O in fact; look behind children – look behind And behind children; move in V city – move in V And V city. Moreover, in connections with the control word ( speak O, look behind etc.), never functioning independently, a preposition often turns out to be a necessary indicator of the lexical meaning of a word; Wed different meanings verb consist in cases consist from (whom-what-n.: substance consists of from particles, group consists of from Komsomol members) And consist V (com-how-n.: V frontline workers, V squad); Ch. speak in cases speak O (com-how-n. (verbally express thoughts, report)) and speak With (by whom-n. (to talk, to have a conversation)); Ch. look in cases look on (whom-What-n.) And look behind(by someone or something). The combination of a preposition with a dependent form is always easily separated from the dominant word, acquires independence and is capable of relatively independent functioning in a sentence, in the role of names or elements of the whole text: look behind children – Behind children needed eye Yes eye; speak O in fact – I – O in fact; ABOUT time And O to myself(Name); bask on sunshine – On sunshine warm weather; write To friend – TO friend(title of the poem); TO friend – neither lines; drive on fishing – On fishing(title, caption under the picture, photograph); On fishing – all family. In all such cases, the preposition no longer performs a connecting function between words, but carries only the meaning of one or another relationship.
§. Basic , central character of meaning(or meanings) of the primitive preposition is usually supported by the following factors.
1) There is a prefix in the language that is unambiguous with the preposition or close in meaning to it: insane – without crazy, safety – without dangers(in both cases – the value of absence); interzonal – between zones(meaning interconnectedness); early – before deadline(precedence meaning). Such semantic correspondences with prefixes exist for the following prepositions: without (without forests – treeless, without crazy – madness), V (drive V – move in, look V [face] – take a closer look), before (fly before – fly, before deadline – early, run before [fatigue] – run after), behind (behind Volga – Zavolzhsky, run behind [fence] – run in), from (drive from [cities] – expel), between, between (between continents – intercontinental, between rivers – interfluve), on (quit on What-n. – throw, on wall – wall, complain on [whom-l.] – complain), above (build above – build on, above eyebrows – eyebrow, swear above [shrine] (obsolete) – abuse), from (drive from what-n. – drive off, cut from [loaf] – cut off, count from [units] – count down, form from verb – verbal), before, before (before mountain – foothills, before launch – pre-launch), By (By Volga – Volga region, By to his [discretion] – By-his, By pieces – piece, By forces – feasible, By of death – posthumous), under (put under What-n. – plant, under earth – underground, under Moscow – Moscow Region, under protection – client), at (at stations – station, build [barn] at [home] – attach, [sing And] at this dance – dance, at people – in public [new.]), With (jump With – jump off, cut With [edges] – cutting down, together With [by whom-n.] – joint, unity With [by whom-n.] – compound, paint With [nature] – sketch), through, through (through saddle – saddlemaker, through measure – excessive).
Note: Some adverbial prepositions have similar relationships: outside (outside time – timeless, outside plan – unscheduled), inside, inside (inside veins – intravenous, inside apartments – intra-apartment), near (near land – near-Earth), against (against fire – fire-fighting, fight against whom-n. – confrontation), above (above state – supernumerary), along (along rows – along-row, special), among (among season – mid-season).
2) Under the condition of a strong or regularly predictable syntactic connection, the preposition and the prefix of the grammatically dominant word coincide: a) complete match - phonemic and semantic or b) only semantic match: a) move in V city, get there before places, run in behind corner, exclude from lists, run into on pillar, abuse above whose-n. memory, bounce off from doors, appear before court, plant under head, move out With mountains, connect With friends; b) jump over through fence, cleanse yourself from mud, leave from cities, shield yourself from sun, touch To hand, sneak up To to the beast, climb on roof, climb V barn, go deeper V forest.
3) Preposition in given value capable of combining with more than one case. Yes, an excuse V reveals the meaning of spatial relationship (being inside) in combination with wine. and sentence P. ( V house And V home, V forest And V forest); pretext behind reveals the meaning of a spatial relationship (being behind, on the other side) in combination with wine. and TV P. ( behind house And behind home, behind river And behind river); pretext between, between reveals the meaning of a spatial relationship (being in the gap or among someone) in combination with gender. and TV P. ( between bushes And between bushes); pretext on reveals the meaning of a spatial relationship - being on top of something. – in combination with wine. and sentence P. ( on table And on table, on mountain And on grief); pretext By reveals the meaning of the object relation in combination with the cases of dates. and sentence ([ miss] By son And By son); pretext under reveals the meaning of a spatial relationship - being below something. – in combination with cases of wines. and TV ( under table And under table).
§. With the central, main meaning of the preposition usually associated meanings, grouping around this value as its derivatives. Yes, for an excuse on with wine and sentence The central meanings are spatial (being on the surface) and object relations. With the first value ( climb on roof, sit on roof, postpone on paper, draw on paper) are associated with such derived meanings as the actual spatial meaning, including the figurative meaning. and phraseologization ( live on Ukraine, drive on Ukraine; yearning lay down on soul, on heart, fell asleep on mind; hole on hole, patch on patch plant; being inside ( restless on soul, on heart, What at him on mind), space-weapon ( sit on oars, on steering wheel, sit down on oars, on steering wheel), space-time ( on ball, on concert, on ball, on concert), defining-qualifying ( Human on crutches, stand up on crutches), replenishing ( be on whose-n. dependent, be on cure, go on whose-n. dependency, send on treatment). With the second value – object ( concentrate on work, insist on operations, be angry on children, look on stranger, agree on trip, please on everyone) is associated with the object-subject meaning derived from it ( On supplier is listed duty, On you No guilt). As for the peripheral - various adverbial meanings of the preposition on, then they are distributed between cases (vin. and preposition) and are not connected by relations of production either with the main meanings of this preposition or with each other: with wine. P.: come on month, be late on hour, buy on ruble, divide on parts, memorize on fresh head, stock up on winter, see you on another day; with prepositional case: stay on I'm running, on on the go, quarrel on people, meet on these days, be perceived on united breathing.
The meanings of each preposition are described in explanatory dictionaries Russian language.
§. Like any significant unit of language, the meaning of the preposition lies within it. However, to identify(establishing) one or another meaning of a primitive preposition is always context required, minimal verbal environment. Such an environment is either the members of the phrase connected by a preposition, or the form of a specific word that, together with the preposition, forms a prepositional-case connection - already in relation to this connection itself to the minimal context in the sentence. In both cases, to determine the meaning of the preposition, two factors simultaneously play a primary role: firstly, the case form of the name attached by the preposition, and secondly, the lexical meanings of the words. Yes, in phrases be ashamed before comrade And stand before comrade different meanings of preposition before in combination with TV. n. (objective relation in the first case and spatial relation in the second) are identified on the basis of the lexical meanings of verbs be ashamed And stand; in phrases road before Houses And dream before dawn different meanings of limit in a preposition before are established on the basis of the lexical meanings of both members of the phrase (in the first case the limit is spatial, in the second – temporal). On the other hand, in such cases How Before Houses more some kilometers or Before dawn left not for long the meaning of the preposition (spatial or temporal) is established, firstly, on the basis of the lexical meanings of significant words, and secondly, on the basis of the relationship of the prepositional case form to the sentence as a whole. In cases to pay behind house And hide behind house different meanings of preposition behind(objective and spatial) in its combination with wine. items are established on the basis of the lexical meanings of verbs; when same Behind house Nothing Not will regret the objective meaning of the preposition in the same combination is established on the basis of the relationship of the prepositional case form to the entire composition of the sentence.
Note: The prepositional case form can be used in a relatively independent position: as a title, signature, at the absolute beginning of the text; for example, headings, titles: On lake; U builders; On enemy!; Behind victory; TO Venus; About naked king(gas., cap.); About This(Mayakovsk); ABOUT frontline workers; IN city; For happiness our children; WITH love To nature. At the beginning of the text : By Smolensk road . Long corridor And revealed departments first class carriage(Bunin). Such forms are abstracted from the most characteristic, common and frequently used combinations, and their meanings, and therefore the meanings of prepositions, are recognized by native speakers on the basis of stable linguistic associations with these combinations.
§. Together with the case form of the name, the preposition forms a syntactic unity, so the so-called prepositional case form of the name. In most cases, it is impossible to establish a case meaning separate from the preposition in such a connection. In combinations such as, for example, without father, behind fence, on road, before home, With friends for the modern linguistic state, the meaning of the case form cannot be considered outside of its combination with a preposition: at the level of syntactic semantics, the prepositional-case form is indivisible.
In the area of combining prepositions and cases there is narrow circle phenomena in relation to which we can talk about separate meanings of preposition and case and the coincidence of these meanings. This includes, for example, combinations of the preposition To from date p.: both the preposition and the case mean addressed, directed, addressed to someone. (cf.: write father And write To father); preposition combinations about with wine p.: both preposition and case have an objective meaning (cf.: discuss event And speak about event); similarly, the correspondence of the meanings of preposition and case in such cases as believe V of people(cf.: be in love of people), hope on success(cf.: foresee success). However, such phenomena are few in number. In general, in relation to the modern linguistic state, it is impossible to say that in the prepositional-case form the meaning of the preposition is correlated with the meaning of the case, supports it and is supported by it, it is impossible: by combining the preposition with the case form a new, special and integral semantic unit is formed.
§. In modern Russian literary language The class of prepositions is actively expanding. Neither in their formal structure, nor in the systems of their lexical meanings, nor in the rules for choosing connected units, the words of this class are not homogeneous. The close and living connections of many prepositional formations with words of significant parts of speech explain the fact that a preposition is often deprived of the most important feature of a separate word - completeness. In many cases, however, the lack of completeness of the preposition turns out to be only an external factor - a spelling one. Continued enrichment of the class of prepositions by "suggestion" separate forms such significant words that name the relation lexically are evidence of the development and enrichment of the system of abstract syntactic meanings.
About fluctuations in the use of individual prepositions and their compatibility, as well as about the variability of prepositional connections and synonymy in the system of prepositions, see the section “Syntax. Subordinate connections words."
