Categorizing sentences with lots of “the”
Consider the following sentence: "The higher the price the better the quality." I've certainly heard people say similar sentences before (in terms of sentence structure). How would one categorize a sentence like this?
A similar question was posted here: Sentences with no verb. It gives the example of "System shutdown in 60 seconds." but that seems qualitatively different from the example I have. Would one still classify "The higher [..]" as a nominal sentence, which is the suggestion in the most upvoted answer there?
