The article examines the nominalization of adverbs in French. The study focuses on the mechanisms through which adverbs can be transformed into nouns and analyzes the linguistic properties of the resulting nominal forms. The research problem is formulated on the basis of works by leading linguists, including M. A. Krongauz, A. A. Bartov, V. M. Kosteva, G. I. Mogilevskaya, M. E. Morozova, E. A. Zemskaya, and A. F. Gainutdinova. Although the phenomenon of nominalization has been widely discussed in linguistic literature, most studies primarily address the substantivization of adjectives, while the nominalization of adverbs has received considerably less systematic attention. The aim of the study is to clarify the lexical and grammatical nature of nominalized adverbs in French. The research applies methods of formal and functional grammatical analysis in order to identify the structural and semantic characteristics of these units. Particular attention is paid to the mechanisms of their formation, the changes in their semantic meaning, and their syntactic distribution. The analysis demonstrates that the process of nominalization leads to the emergence of lexical units that acquire grammatical features typical of nouns and function within nominal syntactic positions. The empirical material for the study includes examples from the dictionary Le nouveau Petit Robert as well as from official publications of the French Ministry of Defence (Terre Magazine, Cols Bleus, Revue de Défense Nationale).
