Comparatives in ADJP

Comparatives where there is no obvious clausal structure in the comparative phrase (i.e. no verb, no subject and gap of a verb), they are treated just like PP complements of ADJR in the PPCME2. If the object of the comparison is simply a dative NP, the PP level is omitted and the phrase is parsed as parallel to "NP Complements of PP" in the PPCME2 (http://www.ling.upenn.edu/~beatrice/annotation/syn-phrase.htm#adjp_comp_np). The NP is *not* given an extended dash tag, but dative is marked on the pos-tag, as in the example below:

( (IP-MAT (NP-SBJ (N-FSNIC Sjón-sjón))
	  (BEP-IA3SP er-vera)
	  (ADJP (NP (N-FSAIC sögu-saga))
		(ADJR-FSAWC ríkari-ríkur))
	  (, ,-,)))
