Brett Reynolds, a faculty member in FLAS at Humber Polytechnic and in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Toronto, has a new publication in the Journal of Linguistics titled "Why More and Less Are Never Adverbs". In the paper, he reconsiders the analysis found in The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language (CGEL), which categorizes more and less as adverbs in certain contexts. He argues that these words are better understood as determinatives, both in noun phrases like more water or less time and in adjective phrases like more interesting or less quickly. The article uses corpus data and semantic analysis to support this view.
The paper contributes to discussions on how linguistic categories are classified and can be accessed online.
