ore expressive, as that, If the speaker doesn t want to tell something right to somebody s face or to be harsh or categorically call things by their proper names, he can add the suffix -ish to the adjective and by this he will form so-called modal tactful words.results of the research, the directions of the investigation, the methods used, serve as a starting point for similar studies based on other related or unrelated languages. They also serve to establish the means of expressing the conceptual categories of degrees of comparison and tendencies in their development, to establish the degree of coincidence and non-coincidence between the given categories in English and Romanian concerning form and content.results could also be used in solving some important confrontational linguistic problems of translation, teaching English to students speaking Romanian and can also serve as material for a special course in Comparative Linguistics. Though contrastive analysis in the field of grammatical morphology has been considered as part of confrontational linguistics for a long time, there is no clear cut distinction between the confrontation of related and unrelated languages, using the results of comparative philology of cognate languages ??in their confrontation with unrelated languages. The confrontation of languages ??can be carried out by comparing: a) unrelated languages; b) closely related languages; c) distantly related languages, and d) also by simultaneous confrontation of related and unrelated languages.main ideas which I have analyzed and selected from this diploma paper are the followings:
* The ability to establish orderings among objects and make comparisons between them according to the amount or degree to which they possess some property is a basic component of human cognition.
* All languages ??have syntactic categories that express gradable concepts, and all languages ??have designated comparative constructions, which are used to express orderings between two objects with respect to the degree or amount to which they possess some property.
