| ==Terminology of Comparison== | |||
| Is there a word for the subject(s) of a comparison - things being subjected to a comparison? This article seems to use 'object', dictionaries tend to use the word 'thing'; but it seems to make sense to be able to talk about the "comparatees", being identified solely as subject(s) of a comparison, regardless of just what they are. I was thinking of the word 'criterion', but that tends to represent a standard against which things are measured. 'comparable' is good, but it is an adjective, not a noun. (]) | |||
| :I don't think so. The OED has such senses for ''comparate'', ''comparative'', and ''comparison'', but labels all as obscure, and ''comparison'' in that sense as rare as well. ] 19:18, 1 April 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ::Ruakh, thank-you so very much. Based on your suggestion, a Google turned up Webster 1913: ''Comparate n.(Logic) One of two things compared together.'' I note your reference as to it's obscurity. (] 20:23, 1 April 2006 (UTC)) | |||
| :::In the modern theoretical comparative literature, I have seen terms such as ''target'' for the entity in subject position and ''standard'' for the other. A rather confusing one I have seen is ''referent'' for what I have called ''target'' above. ] 22:50, 2 April 2007 (UTC) | |||
| == Globalise == | |||
| This article, despite not being about English grammar in particular, goes on and on about how comparison is expressed in English. This is not appropriate for an article that, by its name, should probably be dealing with comparison on a much more general scale. Including examples from grammar is a good idea, but as many languages express comparison differently, the section should be globalised to include examples from other languages (and preferably not just European ones). ] 00:39, 28 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
| Are you just gonna tag it and then not fix it? ]! ] 14:50, 2 May 2007 (UTC) (ps., this tag should be removed, JIMO) | |||
| :The problem with just being bold and doing it, is that, if this page turns into yet another ] page, most of its content will be stripped bear due to the overly anal dab guidelines. No thanks; keep it an article of a list of comparison-related topics (which all dab pages should be, I believe). ∞] <sup>(]|])</sup> 23:16, 8 July 2007 (UTC) | |||
