520    This book provides the most comprehensive account so far 
       of novel and hitherto unexplained factors operative in the
       choice between synthetic (prouder) and analytic (more 
       proud) comparatives. It argues that the underlying 
       motivation in using the analytic variant is to mitigate 
       processing demands - a compensatory strategy referred to 
       as more -support. The analytic variant is claimed to be 
       better suited to environments of increased processing 
       complexity - presumably owing to its ability to facilitate
       early phrase structure recognition, the more transparent 
       one-to-one relation between form and fu.
