In the EUROTRA-ES dictionaries there is no attribute to code the values of degree.

In Spanish, the comparative of adverbs is formed analytically with `tan', `más', or `menos':

``más rápido que yo'' (`faster than I')
``más pronto'' (`sooner')

Only four adverbs have irregular comparative morphology:

  1. `bien/mejor' (`well/better')
  2. `mal/peor' (`badly/worse')
  3. `mucho/más' (`much/more')
  4. `poco/menos' (`little/less')
