本文探讨了对比较中的形容词的新分析，而基于trope的概念，而不是程度的概念。就像“约翰比玛丽快乐”一样，与“约翰的幸福”等同于玛丽的幸福，这一句子表达了两个对手，约翰的幸福和玛丽的幸福之间的简单比较。形容词标称性，引用了trop。
This paper explores a novel analysis of adjectives in the comparative and the positive based on the notion of a trope, rather than the notion of a degree. Tropes are particularized properties, concrete manifestations of properties in individuals. The point of departure is that a sentence like ‘John is happier than Mary’ is intuitively equivalent to ‘John’s happiness exceeds Mary’s happiness’, a sentence that expresses a simple comparison between two tropes, John’s happiness and Mary’s happiness. The analysis received particular support from various parallels between adjectival constructions and corresponding adjective nominalizations which make reference to tropes.
