Summary/Abstract: Articles from several newspapers are employed to underline the influence of adverbs upon the written register of news. The formulated hypothesis is that, on analyzing adverbs’ distribution, their lexical realization, and semantic categories, articles published in tabloids will reveal different findings than those exhibiting a more structurally integrated style with fewer involvement features specific to articles presenting news objectively.
