EINS OG

EINS is a comparative adverb, ADVR. When there is no overt ADJ head in the EINS OG construction, EINS still projects an ADJP (we assume there is an unexpressed ADJ in this construction, though we do not overtly indicate a null ADJ in the annotation).

EINS OG is always treated as taking a full clausal comparative, parallel to comparatives with EN: CP-CMP#EN_(BETUR_EN_(CP-CMP)_...). This is true even if only a single (nominative) NP follows OG, as below. Thus, "eins og Bill" is treated as parallel to "eins og Bill er".
