Definition a type of disjunctive coordination in which any entity enumerated or any combination of the entities enumerated is intended. The simplest case is coordination of two entities where one, the other, or both are intended. Example: Applicants must be a college graduate or have fluency in German is an example of inclusive disjunctive coordination under the assumption that being both a college graduate and fluent in German does not disqualify you from applying. Inclusive disjunctive coordination can be an instance of non-exhaustive list coordination. (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).
