• Resumen

  • The article examines Russian adverbs of small quantity and small degree. The main semantic divide in this group is between adverbs that can denote a small yet significant quantity or degree of something (e.g., HeMHOSO "a little, a few") and those that can only denote quantity or degree so small as to be almost negligible (e.g., edBa "hardly, barely"). The adverbs in these two semantic groups display distinctly different syntactic, combinatory, communicative and prosodic properties.
