Covariational Conditional refers to the most commonly used "the X'er, the Y'er" structure in English, for example: * "The more I think about it, the less I understand." * "The sooner, the better." The structure is composed of two variables: an independent variable ('the X'er') and a dependent variable ("the Y'er"). It has also been called the 'comparative correlative construction'. In construction grammar this pattern is considered a construction because the pattern is not predictable from any other fact of English grammar already established about 'the'.

  • Covariational Conditional refers to the most commonly used "the X'er, the Y'er" structure in English, for example: * "The more I think about it, the less I understand." * "The sooner, the better." The structure is composed of two variables: an independent variable ('the X'er') and a dependent variable ("the Y'er"). It has also been called the 'comparative correlative construction'. In construction grammar this pattern is considered a construction because the pattern is not predictable from any other fact of English grammar already established about 'the'. 'The normally occurs with a head noun but in this construction it requires a comparative phrase. The two major phrases resist classification as either noun phrases or clauses. The requirement that two phrases of this type be juxtaposed is another non-predictable aspect of the pattern. Because the pattern is not strictly predictable, a construction must beposited that specifies the particular form and function involved' (Goldberg 2006, 6). (en)
