The instrumental case of nouns through the prism of adverbialization and pronominalization

The relevance of the research is due to the need to study the intersection zones of transposition processes in the system of parts of speech of the Russian language. The novelty of the study is due to the fact that it is the first attempt to identify the links between the stages and the limit of adverbial and pronominal transposition of nouns. The aim of the work is a comprehensive analysis of the mechanism of step-by-step transposition of instrumental case forms of nouns into the categories of attributive-quantitative and adverbial-spatial adverbs, as well as into the categories of indefinite pronouns correlative with numerals and adverbs. The object of analysis is substantive word forms involved in the processes of adverbial and pronominal transposition, the subject of consideration is the stages and features of functional and functional-semantic adverbialization and pronominalization. To achieve the objectives, the following research methods were used: structural-semantic and lexicographic analysis, oppositional method, elements of distributional, transformational and componential analysis, linguistic experiment. It has been established that some noun word forms in the Russian language are involved in the transposition processes of adverbialization and pronominalization. The degree of their adverbial and pronominal transposition is not the same. Word forms such as "navalom", "mestamami" are subject to functional adverbialization occurring in the semantic zone of the original lexemes, and word forms such as "poryakom" are subject to functional-semantic adverbialization that violates the semantic identity of the original lexemes. It has been revealed that the grammatical or lexical-grammatical type of adverbialization of nouns can be associated with the initial or final stages of their pronominal transposition. Contexts demonstrating different stages of adverbialization and pronominalization of instrumental case forms of nouns have been determined.
