This paragraph explores the concepts of comparison and contrast within grammar, focusing on their applications in language. Comparison involves the degree to which adjectives and adverbs modify their complements, while contrast signifies relationships between the discourse segments, often marked by conjunctions like 'but' or 'however'. Additionally, it touches on superlatives, explaining how they are formed in English through inflection or the use of modifiers. Understanding these grammatical principles enhances clarity in both writing and speech.

Comparison • Comparison, in grammar, is a property of adjectives and adverbs in most languages; it describes systems that distinguish the degree to which the modifier modifies its complement.
Contrast • Contrast is a relationship between two discourse segments. • Contrast is often overtly marked by contrastive markers like but or however, such as in the following examples: • It's raining, but I am taking an umbrella. • We will be giving a party for our new students. We won't, however, be serving drinks.
Superlative • In English, the superlative and the comparative are created by inflecting adjectives or adverbs. • The structure of a superlative consists normally of the positive stem of the adjective or adverb, plus the suffix -est, or the modifier "most" or "least" before the adjective or adverb.
