abstract = {Subject-relatedness is a term used to define subject-oriented -ly adverbs that are not liable to
convey adverbial meaning and only retain the predicative function (Díaz-Negrillo 2014, Valera
2014). Previous corpus evidence of subject-relatedness has been found in colour adjectives
(Valera 2014), which seems to restrict subject-relatedness to this narrow semantic class but, as
colour adjectives are central members of this word-class (cf. Dixon 1977), the relevance of these
subject-related adverbs may be higher than presumed. The present paper presents results
of a systematic corpus search of 17,460 BNC bigrams containing verbs followed by subject-related
-ly adverbs. The results show subject-relatedness beyond colour adjectives alone and in
a wide range of combinations. The interpretations of the mismatch between the suffix -ly and
the categorial meaning associated with this suffix or with the structures where they appear are
manifold and could make an impact on the classification of adjectives and adverbs.},
