Summary/Abstract: The article offers a semantic classification of pronominal-adverb clauses expressing broad manner. The pronoun ten incorporated into the head clause most often by a secondary preposition or as a part of a multiverbation unit anticipates a subordinate clause of broad manner introduced by a pronominal relative adverb. The centre of broad-manner clauses is formed by clauses expressing narrow manner, extent or degree, means, accompanying circumstances. Clauses expressing exception and respect are close to the periphery. The periphery is formed by clauses expressing appropriate action and clauses with a relationship of attachment.
