SIMILARITY AS A COMPARATIVE SENSE AND ITS LANGUAGE REPRESENTATIONS
Abstract
The article deals with similarity as a comparative sense and its representations in different comparative
constructions. The similarity of objects may stem from their essense or may be created by the language itself
- by the meaning or collocations of a comparative constant. The different meaning of a notion depends on the type
of comparison - figurative, logic, reference - and the type of construction - with a comparative conjunction or with a
comparative predicate. As a similarity in a narrow understanding of the term, the meaning of comparative constructions
with predicate similarity is analyzed.
