The monograph deals with the issue of the categories of state (predicative adverbs), which is a debatable point of contemporary Russian linguistics. In the center of interest are therefore indeclinable units that engage only in the predicate role of single-predicate sentences and express the state generally.

The analysed units are viewed in lexical, derivative, morphological and syntactic terms. The complex research of such word is carried out in the confrontational diachronic and synchronic aspects of using data from Czech language.

Language isn't a random collection of sounds or symbols thrown from one person to another, but a predictable and patterned collection of specific elements that can be studied in a similar way to many other sciences, like biology, or chemistry, or physics. This chapter will address the two big questions above - What is Language? How do we study it? - in turn, setting the stage for the subsequent chapters, in which you will learn how to engage with language scientifically; that is, you'll learn how to think like a linguist"--
