A set of sentences defined traditionally as {\textquoteleft}comparative{\textquoteright} have been analysed and reconsidered for this purpose. The syntactic and semantic procedures employed uncovered the fact that apparent resemblance conceals different semantic relations: graded comparison, similitude and quantitative specification. Some factors determining the occurrence of the comparative syntagm as a whole and of its various components have been discussed. In conclusion the analysis has shown that the term {\textquoteleft}comparison{\textquoteright} ought to be specified to avoid any inconsistent use in the literature.}, author = {Грозданова, Лиляна} }
