INTRODUCTION
The conversion of one sentence into another with respect to their degrees is called Degree of Comparison in a Sentence.
KINDS OF DEGREES
A) Positive: Adjectives in their base form.
E.g Good, Beautiful, Happy, Tall etc.
B) Comparative: Adjectives, which are generally used to show comparison between two things.
E.g. Better, More beautiful, Happier, Taller etc.
C) Superlative: Super Adjectives or when Comparison is shown from all.
E.g Best, Most Beautiful, Happiest, Tallest etc.
SYNTATICAL TERMS FOR STRUCTURE
x → Positive Degree
y → Comparative Degree
z → Superlative Degree.
D¹→ Positive Statement
D²→ Comparative Statement
D³→ Superlative Statement
Note: Comparison is always shown between two Nominatives.
STATEMENTAL SYNTATICS
A) Positive to Comparative
B) Comparative to Positive
C) Comparative to Superlative
D) Superlative to Comparative
E) Positive to Superlative
F) Superlative to Positive.
POSITIVE TO COMPARATIVE
1) D¹= Sb¹ + hv + as + x + as + Sb²
D² = Sb² + hv + not + y + than + Sb¹.
2) D¹ = Sb¹ + hv + not + as + x + as + Sb².
D² = Sb² + hv + y + than + Sb¹.
Note: We cannot take Sb² as obj cuz it's real form in syntax is Sb.
COMPARATIVE TO POSITIVE
1) D²= Sb¹ + hv + y + than + Sb²
D¹= Sb² + not + as + x + as + Sb¹.
2) D²= Sb¹ + hv + not + y + than + Sb².
D¹= Sb² + hv + as + x + as + Sb¹.
OR
D¹= No other + Sb² + hv + as + x + as + Sb¹.
POSITIVE TO SUPERLATIVE
1) D¹= Sb¹ + hv + as + x + as + Sb².
OR
D¹= No other + Sb¹ + hv + as + x + as + Sb².
D³= Sb² + is + the + z
OR
D³= Sb² + is + the + z + of + all.
DEGREE SYNTATICS (Category 1)
1) D¹= Sb¹ + hv + as + x + as + Sb².
2) D²= Sb² + hv + not + y + than + Sb¹.
3) D³= Sb² + hv + the + z + of + all.
(Category 2)
1) D¹= No other + Sb² + hv + as + x + Sb².
2) D²= Sb² + hv + not + y + than + Sb¹.
3) D³= Sb² + hv + the + z + of + all
Here, we can conclude that the Subjects of comparative and superlative will remain same in position only positive's subject will change (Position)
as + π
so + π (π= Any word, → x, always)
EXCEPTIONAL SYNTATICS
1. D¹= I + did + not + mv + Sb² + to/would
So + x.
D²= Sb² + hv(be) + y + than + Sb² + mv²
2. D¹= Very few + Sb¹ + hv + as + x + as + Sb².
D³= Sb² + hv + one of the + z + Sb¹
