The paper provides evidence for a more articulated structure of the comparative as compared with the one in Bobaljik (2012). We propose to split up Bobaljik's cmpr head into two distinct heads, C1 and C2. Looking at Czech, Old Church Slavonic and English, we show that this proposal explains a range of facts about suppletion and allomorphy. A crucial ingredient of our analysis is the claim that adjectival roots are not a‐categorial, but spell out adjectival functional structure. Specifically, we argue that adjectival roots come in various types, differing in the amount of functional structure they spell out. In order to correctly model the competition between roots, we further introduce a Faithfulness Restriction on Cyclic Override, which allows us to dispense with the Elsewhere Principle.

比较的精细结构

与Bobaljik（2012）中的比较结构相比，本文提供了比较结构更清晰的证据。我们建议将Bobaljik的cmpr头分成两个不同的头，即C1和C2。从捷克语，斯拉夫语的老教堂和英语看，我们表明该建议解释了有关补充和同种异形的一系列事实。我们的分析的关键要素是声称形容词根不是类别，而是阐明了形容词的功能结构。具体来说，我们认为形容词根有多种类型，它们阐明的功能结构数量也不同。为了正确地模拟根之间的竞争，我们进一步引入了对循环覆盖的忠实限制，这使我们可以省去“其他地方”原则。
