| Description | On the basis of Czech and English data, this paper argues that (i) the comparative consists of two heads C1 and C2 instead of one CMPR head; and (ii) that adjectives come in various sizes, spelling out different layers of functional structure. These assumptions will allow us to explain a range of facts about suppletion and allomorphy. In order to correctly model the competition between the various types of adjectives, we dispense with the Elsewhere Principle (EP), and introduce a Faithfulness Restriction on Cyclic Override. |
