| http://example.org/cx/hasExample | Wendy might be in Santa Fe |
| Definition | describing an entity from the implicit perspective of the speaker and the speech event, e.g. the speech event time. Example: in the subjective epistemic modal construction Wendy might be in Santa Fe, the uncertainty about Wendy being in Santa Fe is that of the speaker at the time of the speech event, although neither of these pieces of information (the speaker or the time of the speech event) are explicitly expressed in the sentence.

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).
