Evaluative_comparison [comparison_ordering]
This frame is about the static comparison of an Profiled_item to a Standard_item, often with respect to some Attribute. In this frame, there is an inherent asymmetry between Profiled_item and Standard_item in that the two cannot be expressed jointly as a subject. Degree expressions are also found that indicate how close the items are to each other on the scale evoked by the Attribute. Furthermore, the particular value of the standard or item on a certain scale may be given by the Standard_attribute of the Profiled_attribute respectively.
