Goal: Create any lexical forms you need for your comparative strategy

Note: Be sure to reduce any lexical forms that need to be grammaticalized for your comparative.

Tip: Even if you don’t need any new forms, lay out a template to show how your language will handle comparative situations.

Work focus: Create/Make/List


Today’s goal is to create any lexical forms you need to support your chosen comparative strategy (or strategies). If you’re creating grammaticalized forms (e.g. an inflectional affix, an adposition to mark information), you’ll also need to reduce those lexical forms into their grammatical counterparts. 

Even if you don’t need any new forms, take some time to map out a template to show how your language will handle comparative situations.
