Sažetak
In more comprehensive linguistic (especially Anglo-Saxon) literature, an adverbial has been considered as a heterogeneous/ wide category that also incorporates parts of sentence that do not belong to the sentence structure (Quirk et al. 1985; Buyscheart 2010; Crystal 2008:14). Therefore, modifiers, connectors, obligatory and non-obligatory adverbial complements and adjuncts have been considered as adverbials and they have been associated with modification of the predicate/words in function of the predicate and modification of a sentence. Adverbial is the term that is in the contmeporary grammars of the Croatian language considered as a synonym of the term adverbial designation. (Silić and Pranjković 2007; Barić and others 2005; Katičić; 2002; Raguž 2010). This work analyses description of an adverbial in the contemporary Croatian grammar books. Furthermore, it gives a review of semantic and grammatical/syntactic classification (as well as descriptions in the framework of different theoretical approaches) in order to draw attention to the width of the category, the placement of an adverbial in the structure of a simple sentence and interpretation of the sentence and its meaning. The question of systematization and justifiability of its name reaches outside the framework of this paperwork, but since the term adverbial has been adopted and accepted in the linguistic science and since adverbials, together with the subject, the object, the attribute and the apposition, is a single-membered term and it covers different kinds of adverbials (obligatory and non-obligatory complements and adjunts) and since it also includes observing an adverbial as a sentence adjunct as well as a complement and an adjunct to the predicate (words in funtion of the predicate), it is accepted in this work as well. Taking into consideration that different semantic groups of adverbials also have different syntactic pecularities and that that kind of classification demands more extensive research in order to draw attention to the role of the adverbial in the sentence interpretation, in the final part of the work the division is based on space adverbials.
