adverb
pour le choix de classification il faut que je relise Huddlestone, je ne le comprends pas encore. Je laisse "focalizing" provisoirement.
focalizing
As with one of its translations même, even can precede an outlier (in a set of possibilities)
- They even called the President.
- They were saddened, troubled, even angered by the decision.
- Even Mario started dancing.
- Even if they could get here by six, we would still miss the flight.
or it can be used to reinforce a comparative (encore in French):
- Janice had run even farther than Jorge
- Fruit can be even tastier with a bit of mint & honey.
