ADVERBIAL MODIFIERS WITH FACILITATIVE MEANING IN THE JAPANESE LANGUAGE
The article examines the basic adverbial means of expressing the ease of action in the Japanese language (facilitative) in connection with other means, with which they constitute relations of syntactic synonymy. On the basis of the corpus data of use the author shows that adverbials of the ease of action transmit a compact circle of specifying meanings (properties of the action, the subject, and also nature of resistance / obstacle overcome). Besides, in the role of intensifiers and deintensifiers they also serve the “mirror” meaning of the action difficulty.
