Than Shwe 2010-10-11
''Than'' is a grammatical particle analyzed as both a conjunction and a preposition in the English language. It introduces a comparison and is associated with comparatives and with words such as more, less, and fewer. Typically, it measures the force of an adjective or similar description between two predicates. Usage Case of pronouns following ''than'' According to the view of many English-language prescriptivists, including influential 18th-century grammarian Robert Lowth, ''than'' is exclusively a conjunction and therefore takes either nominative (or subjective) or oblique (or objective) pronouns, depending on context, rather than exclusively oblique pronouns as prepositions do. This rule is broken as often as it is observed. For instance, William Shakespeare's 1600 play ''Julius Caesar'' has an instance of an oblique pronoun following ''than'' where the nominative is also possible: :''A man no mightier than thyself or me...'' Likewise, Samuel Johnson wrote: :''No man ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
