| Definition | an information packaging function in which the modifying stative concept does not narrow the set of possible referents of the object concept it modifies in a referring phrase; it simply adds a further description of the referent. Example: in The angry young men left the party, angry is an appositive modifier in the context in which it is adding a further description to the young men leaving the party, rather than specifying a subset of the young men, as with restrictive modification.

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).
