Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to study the different functions that the adverbs correctamente and incorrectamente can develop in discourse: their function as adverbs of manner being part of the clause, their characterization as adverbs of manner expressing the speaker attitude towards what has been said and their use as enunciative adverbs and, also, as adjectives and participles modifier adverbs. In all cases we try to describe each function by distinguishing it from the rest. We also refer to the other adverbs with which correctamente and incorrectamente can be related to in each of their uses. The results show the vary grammatical possibilities that the speaker has in discourse to express manners, opinions and attitudes by means of the adverbs ending in -mente. They show, as well, the need to include analyse levels related to enunciation in the grammatical description. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
