Where does the なら fit in?
NならNであるほど?

I agree with fareastfurafaro about 'であればあるほど’ being another valid construction for 'na' adjectives with this structure. In the Intermediate Japanese textbook, it shows that as the main way to use this grammar with 'na' adjectives. Would it be worth adding it to the construction examples? Here is the exact example it gives: 説明はかんたん[b][u]であればあるほど[/u][/b]いい。 [color=green](Simpler explanations are better)[/color] It doesn't even put anything in front of the second 'ある' in the sentence.

Thanks for catching the typo!

The verb explination formating is off so it is really hard to understand.

There's something that keeps puzzling me about this construction.
ば~ほど in combination with verbs mostly implies
- frequency of performing a certain action => "the more (often) one does..." or
- time spent on that action => "the more (years) one studies..."
But those verbs are always on their own and nothing is mentioned about the quality of that action. What happens if I want to attach an adverb to the verb? How would I express things like "the faster s.o. runs", "the harder s.o. studies", "the higher the sun rises" etc. with focus on the attributive aspect of the action?
Thanks
