The adverbial forms in the fables of I.A. Krylov

The role of I.A. Krylov in the development of the Russian literary language and the revealing of the new national forms of expression is unquestionable but the language of his works from the perspective of grammar isn’t studied. The fables’ heritage of the author allows to study in detail the educational peculiarities and the usage of some language units, including the adverbial participles that consider the last third part of the XVIII century as a significant period for the grammar category.
