Corpus Testing of Cinque's Hypothesis of Adverbs Order Determination by Semantic Projection Hierarchy

This work is devoted to the analysis of the restrictions that exist in the linearization of adverbs in the Russian language. Despite the fact that there is a large number of studies in this area, both based on the one-language data ​and in comparative perspective, this problem remains in the focus of the study of linguists. One of the main questions remains the question of the universal hierarchy of linearization of adverbs of different classes, as well as how existing hierarchies reflect the real situation in languages ​​with a free word order. Currently, most studies in this area rely on data obtained experimentally or introspectively. The material of our study was the data of the National Corpus of the Russian Language (RNC). The study allows us to draw the following conclusions. First of all, we managed to build a hierarchy of adverbial classes for the Russian language based on the materials of the National Corps of the Russian language, using the method of pairwise comparison of the order of adverbs of different classes. Secondly, a small experiment as a whole confirmed the validity of the G. Cinque hierarchy for the data of the Russian language, albeit with some variability, and also taking into account the fact that we studied adverbs using a more integrated classification, since there are two and more linearly arranged adverbs are rare in the Russian language, which set us the task of identifying more capacious classes for the Russian language.
