An incomplete comparison is a misleading argument popular in advertising. For example, an advertiser might say "product X is better". This is an incomplete assertion, so it can't be refuted. A complete assertion, such as "product X sells for a lower price than product Y" or "the new product X lasts longer than the old product X" could be tested and possibly refuted. In grammar, an incomplete comparison is a comparison that leaves out one of the item being compared. Unacceptable: ''Learning Chinese is more difficult. (difficult than what? )'' Acceptable: ''Learning Chinese is more difficult than learning Spanish.''〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mhhe.com/mayfieldpub/tsw/comp-i.htm )〕 ==See also== * Inconsistent comparison * Fallacy * False advertising 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Incomplete comparison」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
