Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the position of sentence adverbs in a sentence. Based on the examples found in the study, the article establishes the models of positioning two/three adverbs in a single sentence. It is attempted to determine whether an adverb can indeed appear freely in a sentence and whether two or three adverbs can be used in any position of a single sentence. It was found in which position sentence adverbs are used most commonly. The article mostly refers to the examples taken from the Corpus of Contemporary Lithuanian Language developed by the Centre of Computational Linguistics of Kaunas Vytautas Magnus University and the examples found through the web search engine Google.
