Abstract: 
The article employs the prototypical approach to the analysis of the phenomenon of fuzziness in the category of adverb. The attention is focused both on the cases of inter- and intracategorial interaction which supports the idea of the fuzzy boundaries between adverbial modifier and other parts of the sentence as well as between various types of adverbial modifiers.

Keywords:  parts of the sentence, prototypical approach, fuzziness, interaction, semantic space, continuity of thinking
