Abstract
- This paper considers Serbian adjectives and adverbs denoting qualification property Z in cases when they occur in an utterance of the type ’X is more Z than Y’. The author’s analysis makes it evident that, depending on the lexical meaning of the given adjective / adverb, Z either does, or does not imply that both the X and Y entities are qualified by it. She shows moreover how, by introducing the word još into his utterance, the speaker succeeds to attribute the property Z to both X and Y in spite of its non-implicational meaning.
