implied comparison

A wide range of adjectives with a comparative form can be used in contexts where the comparison is not made explicit: the better-class hotels, the Greater London area, higher education, the major political parties, an older man, a prior claim, of superior quality, the younger generation.

Such implied comparisons are a feature of advertising language: higher mileage, a smoother finish, etc. --Backinstadiums (talk) 08:47, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
