roq ; wide-
r , strong-
er . In the English language as in the Russian
adjectives which consist of two or more roots
form their comparative degree analytically in combination with the
auxiliary words
more or
less , for example:
more beautiful, less beautiful . In this case the English language corresponds to the Russian
one. We can consider the auxiliary words
more and
less to be analytical
forms expressing comparative degree of adjectives, because in
combination with the adjectives they change their sound structure:
much ,
little and in this combination they loose their lexical
meaning at some extent becoming equal in function to the affixal
morpheme
–er. The superlative degree is also expressed both synthetically and
analytically in the English and Russian languages. Synthetically : big-
bigger-
the bigg
est , large-larger –
the larg
est ;
большой-больше-
больш
ущий, красный-краснее-красн
ейший ( by the addition of the
affixal morphemes to the root morphemes or the stems of the adjectives:
in English the affixal morpheme is added to the root morpheme or the
stem of adjectives by agglutination , in Russian – by fusion).
Analytically : beautiful- more beautiful-
the most beautiful ,
comfortable- more comfortable-
the most comfortable ; красивый-
более красивый-
самый красивый . The superlative degree in
English is expressed by the combination of the auxiliary words
