| Definition |
a subtype of counterpresuppositional contrast in which some semantic content is chosen from a list of alternatives. Example: in the exchange Would you like coffee or tea? COFFEE, please, the discourse context presents two alternatives (coffee or tea), and the respose chooses one of the alternatives (coffee). (Dik 1997 proposes the term selecting, but this term is used here with a different meaning.) (Section 11.4.1) |

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).
