Nominative and Accusative Cases of Russian Nouns in Contexts of Adverbialization Combined with Modality, Pronominalization, Particulation, and Interjection

The relevance of the study is determined by the insufficient study of transition zones in the grammatical structure of the language. The focus is on the types of intersection of adverbial transposition of substantive word forms with other types of transposition. The purpose of the work is to consider the features and limit of transposition of nominative and accusative cases of nouns into adverbs in the contexts of "pure" adverbialization and combined with modality, pronominalization, particulation and interjection. The methods of structural and semantic analysis, linguistic experiment, elements of distributional, transformational and componential analysis are used. It is established that the forms of the nominative case of nouns such as pravda are capable of undergoing functional transposition into adverbs and modal words with the meaning of categorical reliability when used interpositively. It is also shown that the forms of the nominative and accusative cases of nouns can combine adverbial transposition with transposition into pronouns meaning an indefinite set (kapelku, kroshechku, chutochku, malost’ [a little]); into defining-clarifying particles (minimum, maximum); into emotive interjections (uzhas, strakh, zhut’ [How terrifying!]). It is concluded that these types of transpositions manifest themselves most often in the semantic zone of the original substantive lexemes, that is, in the sphere of grammar, and are not associated with word formation.
