achieved by various emphatic means both grammatical and
lexical. Expressiveness and emotive colouring should not be
confused.

Emphatic Use of the “As… As” model
The model “as…as” expressing the same degree of quality may be
used emphatically not in its direct function but to express the
superlative degree. In this case it is as a rule combined with the
pronouns “any”, “anything”, “anybody”. The translations of this
model require lexical compensation.
