stative complex predicate (cxn)

Type construction
Definition a complex predicate in which one element of the complex predicate denotes a process but the other element of the complex predicate denotes a state somehow associated with the process. Stative complex predicates are divided into resultative complex predicates, depictive complex predicates, and manner complex predicates; manner complex predicates include ideophones when they are a part of a complex predicate.

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).
