Abstract
The article examines the grammatical status of diiepryslivnyk (the specific adverbial form of the Ukrainian verb). It has been determined that the diiepryslivnyk as a grammatical class of words occupies a separate grammatical niche and is an unchangeable part of speech of deverbal nature, which functions with the meaning of the processual adverbial modifier or acts either as the grammatical center of an adverbial phrase or expletive structure. Ascribing the diiepryslivnyk to the verbal-adverbial or adverbial-verbal category abridges the specificity in determining its grammatical status. Diiepryslivnyk is a deverbal formation that inherits from the verb its stem with prefixes, affixes, postfix -sia, by which the meaning of the aspect is transmitted to the adverbial participle, and which has not lost its ability to have dependent words. Yet the existence of these grammatical indicators is not considered to be the basis for including the diiepryslivnyk to the deverbal forms. The difference between the diiepryslivnyk as an unchangeable form and the adverb itself is that the diiepryslivnyk expresses the meaning of a procedural adverbial modifier. The adverb is deprived of this, because it includes non-processual words. They also differ by the fact that among diiepryslivnyks there are no such words that in the isolated way, without reference to other words, would be perceived with the certain meaning of an adverbial modifier. The semantics of the adverb is clearly determined even in the isolated position.
