However, "Adj(i1na) Vmasu-kata o sum" and "Adverbial form of
Adj(i / na) V" are not always interchangeable. First, the adverbial foms
of some adjectives cannot be used as manner adverbs (i.e., an adverb to
mean "in such and such a manner"), as in [2].

(That pitcher throws (a ball) in an interesting way.)
(Kazuo smiled strangely (lit. smiled in a strange manner).)
Second, "Adj(i / na) Vmasu-kata o suru" cannot be used when the man-
ner can be described objectively without involving any personal impres-
sion, as in [3].
