| Definition |
a type of coordinate clause construction typically equated with coordination by but, representing some sort of contrast in the relevant context. Adversative coordination is prototypically with simple contrast, but often may also express an unexpected co-occurrence. Example: Petja is diligent but Vanja is lazy is an instance of adversative coordination, with a simple contrast between the two events. (Section 15.2.1) |

The Model of Comparative concepts for Constructicon Alignment (MoCCA; Lorenzi et al. 2024) proposes to connect constructions across and within languages using Comparative Concepts as a shared base of comparison. It adopts the set of Comparative Concepts provided by Croft (2022).
