Resumen

This paper aims to describe the basics of the relationship between nominal heads and their premodifying adverbs (adverb shift). Our study is partly based on Levi 's (1978) study of the rule adjective shift in complex nominals. An overview of adverb shift is then attempted ftom examples taken ftom the LOB corpus. The resulting classification of ten predicates shows a range of syntactico-semantic relationships between the noun and the premodifying adverb.
