Arnim von Stechow 在本期《语义学杂志》中对各种比较理论的批判性评价为我提供了一个值得欢迎的机会，让我再次审视我 1973 年的论文并发表评论。很明显，这篇论文没有达到它想要实现的目标。许多极其有趣的观察结果并没有得到。没有考虑某些麻烦的环境（例如反事实结构）。这篇论文在比较语义方面确实很差。最后，几乎没有人注意到比较语义概念在世界语言中表达的各种方式。下面我将重述我自己1973年的立场，然后提出我自己的意见和改进建议。最后我将讨论冯·斯特肖的批评。然而，总体而言，我将维持 1973 年分析所依据的原则。我 1973 年论文中的比较分析分两个阶段进行。首先，像“Jim is heighter than Joe”这样的比较级分析为：
Arnim von Stechow's critical appraisal of various theories of the comparative in the present issue of the Journal of Semantics provides a welcome opportunity for me to look at my 1973 paper again and give my comments. It is clear that that paper falls short of what it wanted to realize. Many extremely interesting observations were not made. Certain troublesome environments (such as counterfactual constructions) were not considered. The paper was definitely poor on the semantics of the comparative. And, finally, hardly any notice was taken of the various ways in which the semantic notion of comparative is expressed in the languages of the world. In the following I shall recapitulate my own position as given in 1973. I shall then give my own comments and suggestions for improvement. Finally I shall discuss von Stechow's critique. On the whole, however, I shall maintain the principles on which the 1973 analysis was based. The analysis in my 1973 paper of the comparative proceeds in two stages. First, a comparative like" Jim is taller than Joe" is analysed as:
