positive degree

同根派生

The positive degree is "good",the comparative degree is "better",and the superlative degree is "best".
"good"(好)为原级, "better"(较好)为比较级, "best"(最好)为最高级。
So it is assumed that the positive degree of word's own semanteme restricts both positive and negative usage, and the lower positive word is used in negative structure with the higher freguency.
并假设；词语自身语义的肯定程度高低制约着其肯定和否定用法，肯定程度越低的词用于否定结构的几率越大。
There is positive proof that he did it.
有确切的证据证明他做了此事。
Each of the components is useful in its degree.
每一个元件都各有程度不同的用处。
Criticism is not lost on you to some degree.
在某种程度上，批评对你起了作用。
