This article discusses the comparative correlative constructions in French and five other European languages. A comparative correlative construction is a binary structure whose two parts are conjoined as Siamese twins (to use the fine metaphor invented by Savelli, a French linguist). The most striking feature of this construction is the fronting of the comparatives in two clauses which are interdependent and inseparable, though at first glance no clear relation can be seen, neither in French nor in English. It is hoped that this study of six European languages will contribute to an elucidation of the structuring of the two clauses and the relation between the two parts as well as the meaning they convey.Downloads
