resultative complex predicate (cxn)

Type construction
http://example.org/cx/hasExample We painted the door red
Definition a stative complex predicate in which the stative component of the complex predicate describes a state that results from the performance of the event denoted by the main predicate. Hence, the stative event temporally follows the main predicate event. A resultative complex predicate is participant-oriented. Example: in English We painted the door red, painted...red is a resultative complex predicate, and red describes the result state of a participant, the door, after the painting event is done.

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).
