Could you analyse parts of speech of “$100 is as high as I'll go” & “I'll go as high as $100”?
See this short conversation
B: How much are you talking?
A: $100 is as high as I'll go. / I'll go as high as $100
....
In the dictionary, go [intransitive]: to be willing to pay a certain price for
something
I'll go as high as $100, but not over that.
because "go" is a verb, so "high" is an adverb in the sentence "I'll go as high as $100"
& when we say "$100 is high", then "high" is an adjective which modifies the noun "$100".
And when we compare 2 things or 2 situations together, we compare 2 adjectives or 2 adverbs.
I am as tall as you are (tall)
I sing as well as you do (sing well)
But when you say "$100 is as high (adj) as I'll go (high: adverb)", we are comparing an adjective with an adverb.
Could you explain why that is?

In your first example, the subject is the NP "$100", and the predicate is the VP "is as high as I'll go". "High as I'll go" is an AdjP functioning as predicative complement of "is". The first “as” is an adverb of degree modifying “high”, and the second “as” is a preposition with the comparative clause “I’ll go” as its complement.

In your first example, the subject is the NP "$100", and the predicate is the VP "is as high as I'll go". "High as I'll go" is an AdjP functioning as predicative complement of "is". The first “as” is an adverb of degree modifying “high”, and the second “as” is a preposition with the comparative clause “I’ll go” as its complement.
