“…Furthermore, Pittner, et al (2015) argues that adverbs are closely related to morphological and syntactical adjectives. The close relation between adjectives and adverbs is suggested by the fact that many adverbs are formed from adjectival stems.…”

This study aims to analyze the translation of adverbs of manner and its’ translation techniques of adverb of manner from Indonesian as the source language to English as the target language. Adverbs are words that modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs, and in English, they mostly come in the form of -ly. The theory used in this study is the theory of Brown and Miller (1992). It is a descriptive qualitative study that takes data from the novel Edensor. The data is collected and analyzed based on its form, for example, from verbs, adjectives, or adverbs. The results of this study show that out of 75 data, there were 35 data from adjectives, 19 data from adverbs, 17 data from reduplications, and 2 data from verbs. The translation word categories used were (1) adjective in Indonesia to be adverb -ly, (2) reduplication in Indonesia to be adverb -ly, and (3) adverbs in Indonesia to be adverb -ly. Furthermore, the translation techniques were transposition, modulation, and literal.

“… 2. Note that the syntactic function of “adverbial” is not co-extensive with the word class “adverb” (see Pittner, Elsner & Barteld 2015:4-6 for discussion). I will assume here that the characteristics relevant to grammaticalization are in the function of adverbials, and that complex items in adverbial positions can develop further into adverbs by univerbation (such as maybe ; see section 2). …”

Could Be it’s Grammaticalization: Usage Patterns of the Epistemic Phrases(it) Could/Might Be

Starting from the assumption that grammaticalization is rooted in situated language use, the present study tests the connection between functional reanalysis and formal reduction with a synchronic approach. It investigates a case of potential (but not actuated) grammaticalization in Present-Day English, the use of epistemic phrases of the type it could/ might be ( that), which can serve an adverbial function and undergo formal reduction in analogy to maybe. These phrases are analyzed in British English (spoken data and informal writing) for their syntactic complementation and for omission of the expletive subject it. The results show that omission rates are overall higher in “critical contexts,” that is, where the item is structurally ambiguous between a clause and an adverbial, though other usage types, such as idioms, may promote it-omission too. The findings suggest that formal reduction ( it-omission) is connected to incipient/potential grammaticalization (critical contexts) even in the absence of a diachronic grammaticalization process. Thus, they provide evidence that the oft-observed correspondence between functional and formal changes emerges immediately in synchronic language use. A possible interpretation is that certain linguistic elements have a base potential for being put to more grammatical uses; while these uses need not initiate change, speakers tend to adapt the form to its function.

Chinese adverbs

The category of adverbs in Chinese, as is its counterpart in English, is featured by morphological, syntactic and semantic heterogeneity. The heterogeneity poses the questions of the categorial coherence and the conflicting criteria in identifying adverbs. This paper starts with the definition of adverbs in Cognitive Grammar and analyzes degree adverbs, temporal adverbs, scope adverbs, manner adverbs, attitude adverbs and negation adverbs in Chinese. It is found that they all profile a relationship with a relational trajector, consistent with the proposal in Cognitive Grammar, but the precise relationship has to be specified. Some adverbs can also serve as mental space builders. Moreover, the morphological and syntactic behaviors of adverbs can be motivated to different degrees by their semantic functions. The paper attempts to establish the categorial status of adverbs. It develops the semantic account of lexical categories and motivates the formal aspects of language from meaning.
