Distinctive formal signs.
According to Soyko the word В«likeВ» is determined with the wide range of functioning comparative constructions in different styles of modern English.

Seemed more like the debris of human being then like a man (I. Murdock) [6; 5]. Was styled simply, much like the British minis, which were so successfully copied by the Japanese Honda [6; 5].
) ability to form word form unlike: his wife, Mr. Knight was indirect [6; 5]. First she seemed as unlike Babs as she, could be [6; 5]. p align="justify"> ... she, unlike you, is charming [6; 5]., before the word like the negative particle not can be used [6; 5]., Lydig, no, that's not like her [ 6; 5]., the combination of signs is very limited and can't serve the purposes of argumentation about the question about the condition of the word like.
