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.
