Abstract:
In this article we aim to elucidate some of the most common difficulties in recognizing adverbs of other lexical-grammatical classes. The adverb is a problematic lexical-grammatical class due to its heterogeneity. Some adverbs can acquire several morphological values. The most numerous difficulties in their recognition occur when the user does not know how to differentiate between various parts of speech. It is known that depending on the combinations in which they appear, they develop totally different meanings and grammatical values. Thus, adverbs are confused with other lexical-grammatical classes. In relation to other parts of speech, the most frequent confusions occur between: adjectives and adverbs, determined by the identity of form; recognition difficulties arise in the case of prepositions and adverbs, having few situations of form identity, appearing as close but not identical forms; the most exposed identification mistakes are some adverbial forms which, depending on the combinations in which they appear, develop different meanings and grammatical values, etc. Only careful analysis of the context will help us differentiate the adverb from other lexical-grammatical classes.
