|---|---|
| Definition | a construction describing an event in which a participant other than the P participant is coded as object -- that is, a non-P participant is salient enough to be expressed as a core argument phrase, specifically object. Example: Fred baked me a shepherd's pie, in which Fred baking the pie is the base event, encodes a non-participant, namely the recipient of the shepherd's pie, as object. (Sections 9.1, 9.3) |

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).
