English term or phrase: \"catch-all\" category
Adverbs are traditionally regarded as one of the parts of speech. However, modern linguists note that it has come to be used as a kind of "catch-all" category, used to classify words with various different types of syntactic behavior, not necessarily having much in common except that they do not fit into any of the other available categories (noun, adjective, preposition, etc.)

classe (gramatical) muito heterogénea


Explanation:
Constituindo o advérbio uma classe de palavra muito heterogênea, torna-se difícil atribuir-lhe uma classificação uniforme e coerente. Em geral, seu papel na oração se prende não apenas a um núcleo (verbo), mas se amplia na extensão em que se espraia o conteúdo manifestado no predicado.
http://www.maxwell.vrac.puc-rio.br/11710/11710_4.PDF

Palavra invariável em género e número, pertencente a uma classe com elementos com características bastante heterogéneas do ponto de vista morfológico, sintáctico e semântico.
Tipicamente, os advérbios desempenham a função sintáctica de modificadores de frase (iv) e do grupo verbal (v) e a função sintáctica de complementos adverbiais (vi).
http://www.prof2000.pt/users/drfilipeaz/pagsparali/funcling/...

Classe gramatical de palavras que tem como principal função modificar outras palavras ou frases. A etimologia da sua designação (de adverbium) parece relacionar os advérbios com os verbos, muitas vezes apelidados de "adjetivos do verbo", como se de adjuntos verbais se tratasse.
