Abstract
Based on an analysis of the rich material of the Prague Database of Syntactic Forms and Functions (ForFun), which contains written texts as well as transcriptions of dialogues, we describe functions and forms of spatial adverbials and observe differences in their expression in written and spoken text.
We focus on basic formal expressions of adverbials: (i) an adverb, (ii) a dependent clause and (iii) a prepositional phrase. For each formal expression (i) - (iii), we describe the characteristic features of the spatial adverbials in the spoken communication that we gained from the ForFun database.
