The degrees of comparison of adverbs in ancient and modern French
LES DEGRES DE COMPARAISON DES ADVERBES EN ANCIEN FRANÇAIS ET EN FRANÇAIS MODERNE

Summary/Abstract: In this article we intend to present the main aspects regarding the evolution of the degrees of comparison of the French adverb. While describing the language aspects, we also took into account the situation in Latin; this language did not have so many possibilities of rendering the degrees of comparison as the neo-Latin languages did. Thus, our approach is both diachronic and synchronic, but it does not leave out the comparison with the other Romance languages when necessary.
