There are six, according to their grammar meanings.The first, they are the adverbs of high degree. According to their distributional range, there're two types. Type one, they are on front of the adjectives and verbs, there are four branches. Firstly, there are "之,好,多,怪,骚,很",they widespread in front of many adjectives and verbs and be used frequently. Their's meanings approach the meaning of "很", but there're many differences on distributional range, meaning and emotions between these words and "很". Secondly, there are "飞,焦,溜,捞,稀,梆,海", the adverbs come from some adjectives, verbs or nouns by immaterialization, the adverbs widespread narrowly, they have no negative patterns, and can draw a living image. Thirdly, "紧", it means "完全" at a great extent. Type two, they are the adverbs after the adjectives and verbs, be used as complement. There are two branches. Firstly, the adverbs were characterized by monosyllables. There are "腾","惨","完","登","贺","兮","木","麻", they often linked with "了", to become the form of "形/动+腾/惨……+了".Secondly, they are the adverbs with two syllables. "到住" is a degree adverb, it means a high degree and without other meanings. Another words such as "心慌,要命,伤心", are not degree adverbs, they means high degree when they after some adjectives and verbs, so we also take granted them as temporary degree adverbs and study them.The second, they are the adverbs of low degree. They are "有点儿","淡淡" and "不多于". "有点儿"in Sichuan dialect have more distributional range than "有点儿" in Standard Chinese. "淡淡" means low degree in Sichuan dialect, it's meaning aprroach "稍微" in Standard Chinese, but have more narrow distributional range. "不多于" in Sichan dialect also means low degree in nice-nelly language.The third, they are the adverbs of comparison. They are "更见","还" and"多" in Sichan dialect.The fourth, the adverb is "争点儿" , it's meaning near"差点儿" in Standard Chinese, but there are differences between them.The fifth, the adverbs are very special, they are "二" and "八"."二" means a low degree and"八"means a high degree in Sichuan dialect.The forms often be used are "二XX" and "二X二X", "XY八A" and "XA八A".
