Finnish comparative data

Finnish compares with X on Adj-mpi kuin Y: the particle kuin marks the standard (WALS Ch 121A: particle, [Sta13b]), with a secondary separative option marking the standard with the partitive instead — [Sta85] classifies Finnish as particle-primary, separative-secondary. Degree is marked by the bound affix -mpi; the superlative is morphological.

def Finnish.Comparison.kuin : Comparative

The kuin-comparative: the primary, particle-marked construction.

Equations

• Finnish.Comparison.kuin = { standardMarker := some "kuin", caseAssignment := Features.CaseAssignment.derived, degreeMarker := some "-mpi", degreeMorphology := true }

def Finnish.Comparison.partitive : Comparative

The secondary separative construction: partitive-marked standard.

Equations

• One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.

def Finnish.Comparison.degreeWord : Comparative.DegreeWordType

Bound comparative affix -mpi.

Equations

• Finnish.Comparison.degreeWord = Comparative.DegreeWordType.morphological

def Finnish.Comparison.superlative : Comparative.SuperlativeStrategy

Morphological superlative.

Equations

• Finnish.Comparison.superlative = Comparative.SuperlativeStrategy.morphological
