Abstract
In addition to the traditional classifications of the internally heterogeneous group adverbs, hinging on morphological, syntactic and semantic criteria, we consider a further classificatory dimension, namely the mechanisms that serve to highlight adverbs and adverbials : « classic » cleft sentences ; cleft sentences with Aktionsart-variants of the verbum existentiae and with the pro-verb facere ; clefting with apodosis to subordinate conditional, temporal and relative clauses ; appendage by epitaxis. These syntactic tools, and along with them, subsidiarily, particles, all in a nearly perfect complementary distribution, fine-tune the existing classifications and yield further syntactic and semantic distinctions of the Latin adverb.
