Covariational conditional
text:
Covariational Conditional refers to the 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 and a dependent variable. 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 alread
