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.
