The functioning of the Russian word “century” (vek) in the area of nuclear / peripheral nouns and hybrid structures

The relevance of the work is determined by the growing interest of linguists in the problem of qualitative characterization of utterances and their fragments, as well as the need for further study of the principles of interaction of the lexical and grammatical in the structure of linguistic units involved in speech in various transposition processes, including adverbialization. The purpose of the work is to study the mechanism of gradual transposition of prepositionless forms of the nominative and accusative cases of nouns into the class of adverbs. The focus is on nuclear, peripheral substantive word forms, hybrids that synthesize the features of interacting nouns during stepwise adverbialization. Using the example of the word form "century", the stages and features of transposition of nouns into the subclass of aspectual-temporal adverbs are considered. The material for the study is contexts from the National Corpus of the Russian Language and the authors' own examples. It was revealed that in the zone of the core of the initial part of speech, the substantive word form "century" concentrates a full set of differential features of nouns. In the peripheral zone, its movement towards adverbs is manifested in the fixation of types of use of morphological forms of case and number, and in the appearance of adverbial semantics, primarily at the level of sentence members. In the sphere of hybrid structures, the word form "century" combines properties of interacting nouns and adverbs in approximately equal proportions. The last stage of the actual grammatical adverbialization of this word form is associated with the peripheral zone of adverbs. The idea of the exit of the word form "century" out of the semantic zone of the original lexeme at the stage of nuclear adverbs is substantiated.
