Noun
Adverb n (strong or mixed, genitive Adverbes or Adverbs, plural Adverbien or Adverben or Adverbe)
- (grammar) adverb
- Synonyms: Umstandswort, Nebenwort, Zuwort; Adverbium
Usage notes
- The standard plural is Adverbien; the alternative forms have always been uncommon. For those speakers who stress the singular on the first syllable, the plural generally has a stress shift to the second syllable.
- Grammarians often distinguish between Adverb and Adverbial, reserving the former to designate the lexical category of adverbs while using the latter to describe syntactic relationships resembling that of an adverb (i.e. describing how a word acts within a concrete sentence irrespective of its lexical category).[1]

- Kein terminologischer Glücksfall ist das Nebeneinander der Begriffe Adverb und Adverbial. Meistens - aber längst nicht immer - wird Adverb als kategorialer, Adverbial als relationaler Begriff verwendet. Wir folgen diesem Usus und gebrauchen ›Adverbial‹ synonym mit ›adverbiale Bestimmung‹ als Bezeichnung für eine syntaktische Relation (s.u.).
