1 In a number of languages there is relatively little difficulty in finding an adequate lexical expression for being like or being similar to; however, it is often much more difficult to find a satisfactory equivalent for the process of comparing. In many instances the equivalent expression is somewhat paraphrastic, for example, to see things together, to set things alongside of one another, to measure things against one another, or to say how similar things are.
