| Definition | the act of referring to a referent that recurs in different occasions in a stretch of discourse. The stretch of discourse may constitute a single construction, such as a complex sentence construction. This is the primary context in which coreference is discussed in this book. Example: in Jaredi praised hisi father, but hisi father ignored himi, the referent Jared recurs four times in the sentence, and so represents an example of coreference. In linguistic analysis, coreference is often notated by subscript indexes such as i in the example. (Section 16.1) |

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).
