After that, we have analyzed them briefly in their La comparación estereotipada en griego moderno24 Carlos Alberto Crida Álvarez National and Kapodistrian University of Athens formal, semantic, sociocultural and pragmatic aspects. Finally, we have seen that there are great similarities between the stereotyped comparisons of modern Greek and Spanish, however with the exceptions and peculiarities of each language.
