THE LEXEME “ODNOVREMENNO” IN COMPARISON WITH SYNONYMOUS UNITS

Abstract

The article studies lexemes that are synonymous with the lexeme “odnovremenno”. The paper examines the problem of boundaries of adverbial units in a historical context, as well as modern concepts regarding the part-of-speech status of adverbs. It is noted that the ambiguity of the boundaries and categories of adverbs has sparked discussions among modern linguists. Most studies focus on the grammatical status of adverbial words, but there are also works that explore the semantic nature of this class of words. Based on the data on several meanings of the lexeme “odnovremenno” obtained by the authors in a previous study, this paper examines the main linguistic units that are synonymous with it by analyzing the interpretations from lexicographic sources and linguistic facts from the National Corpus of the Russian Language. With the help of evaluation of the uses of these linguistic units, the paper highlights features of their functioning.
