Abstract
The article prompts a discussion of several traditional and new issues concerned with the orthographic rules of spelling adverbs. The research work performed prior to the formulation of spelling rules for the academic description necessitated a more rigorous evaluation of several established ideas about the ways adverb spelling rules are organized and what the actual lexical material relating to this area is. In addition, it should be clarified to what extent this material is governed by rules and to what extent – by a dictionary. The paper examines the approach to the rules of spelling adverbs proposed in scientific literature and draws attention to the difficulties in employing this approach in the classroom. The focus of the present analysis is such specified criteria for the concatenated spelling of adverbs as the lexical dependence of the nominal part of the word, the intermorphemic insertion, and declension question. The research reveals that these criteria do not serve as a tool for spelling selection. The dependence criterion cannot be considered an orthographic rule because it is fundamentally selective. Specifically, the mode of spelling words containing a dependent nominal part (i.e. in the concatenated fashion or as separate units) is actually lexicalised and is only characteristic of certain words. The other two criteria are not applicable to the material and thus mislead writers. This paper is part of a series of publications devoted to the academic description of Russian orthography. It also suggests addressing other controversial issues of studying the spelling of adverbs.
