In traditional Danish grammars, the word class of adverbs is divided into subclasses according to their semantic content and possible position within a sentence (field grammar). Dictionaries do not deal with semantic subclasses.
The EDEMD distinguishes between real adverbs and derived adverbs. Furthermore, distinctions are made on the basis of the syntactic properties of adverbs (modifying role, scope and position in sentence). Generally, in corpus tagging and dictionary encoding, the above mentioned distinctions are not used.
For real adverbs (i.e. not derived from adjectives) there are only a few relics of a system of degree comparison. Most grammars regard adverbs as uninflectable.
