LOPEZ MARIN, Antonio  and  MORA-BUSTOS, Armando. ADVERBS IN MAZAHUA FROM SAN PEDRO POTLA. Forma funcion, Santaf, de Bogot, D.C. [online]. 2015, vol.28, n.2, pp.183-213. ISSN 0120-338X.  https://doi.org/10.15446/fyf.v28n2.53549.

In this article a general description of Mazahua adverbs or adjuncts is made. Adverbs are the least homogeneous grammatical category semantically, syntactically, and morphologically. Adjuncts appear in lexical, phrasal, and sentential bound forms. These units have a specific syntactic behavior; modify different parts of the sentence, and display mobility and restrictions inside the sentence construction. Adverbs exhibit different phenomena such as affixation, clitization, incorporation and reduplication. Semantically, these units are classified as different types of adverbs, for instance: space, locative, goal, proximity, direction and time, among others.

Keywords : Mazahua; adverb; adjunct; syntax; morphology; semantics.
