advcl:cmp: comparative clause

The cmp subtype is of semantic nature and is used to point out the standards of comparison in comparative constructions unitarily. Old East Slavic currently uses advcl:cmp for abbreviated comparative adverbial clauses. This relation is more thoroughly documented for Latin. Old East Slavic works similarly, as does OCS. Here are some examples of how this relation is used in Old East Slavic.
