| Definition |
a type of coordinate construction typically equated with coordination by or, representing alternatives in the relevant context. Example: I will take the bus or ride my bicycle is an instance of disjunctive coordination of clauses; an apple or an orange in I'll have an apple or an orange is an instance of disjunctive coordination of referring phrases. Disjunctive coordination can be divided into inclusive disjunction and exclusive disjunction. (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).
