Different linguistic constructions, including comparative, superlative, similative, and equative constructions, are employed to convey the concept of comparison. equative and similative constructions exhibit the highest semantic and structural resemblance out of all the specified constructions. in such constructions, two entities -referred to as the comparee and the standard- are compared based on a specific characteristic or quality. in equative constructions the comparison is based on a gradable property, where one of the referents has the property to a higher degree, while similative constructions compare the similarity in manner. this study explored the equative constructions in the laki language by primarily relying on classification put forth by haspelmath (2017). the data for the present study consists of 123 equative sentences taken from spoken interviews with twelve individuals residing in noorabad city. the findings indicate that speakers mainly use seven strategies to convey the concept of equality in laki. furthermore, the data show that in numerous equative constructions in laki, there is a preference for omitting the standard marker while retaining the degree marker

Abstract
|
different linguistic constructions, including comparative, superlative, similative, and equative constructions, are employed to convey the concept of comparison. equative and similative constructions exhibit the highest semantic and structural resemblance out of all the specified constructions. in such constructions, two entities -referred to as the comparee and the standard- are compared based on a specific characteristic or quality. in equative constructions the comparison is based on a gradable property, where one of the referents has the property to a higher degree, while similative constructions compare the similarity in manner. this study explored the equative constructions in the laki language by primarily relying on classification put forth by haspelmath (2017). the data for the present study consists of 123 equative sentences taken from spoken interviews with twelve individuals residing in noorabad city. the findings indicate that speakers mainly use seven strategies to convey the concept of equality in laki. furthermore, the data show that in numerous equative constructions in laki, there is a preference for omitting the standard marker while retaining the degree marker
