| Definition | a strategy found with nonprototypical construction types, such as complement constructions which express reference to actions. The actual IP strategy is to recruit the strategy used for the prototypical semantic content function of the information packaging function of the nonprototypical construction. Example: in the English Nominalization Construction exemplified by the corporation's neglect of worker's rights, the action concept neglect that is being referred to recruits the construction used for object reference, the prototypical referring phrase -- it is preceded by the Possessive Phrase the corporation's and followed by the Genitive Oblique of worker's rights; contrast the different strategy found with the prototypical action predication construction The corporation neglected worker's rights. The actual IP strategy contrasts with the semantic IP strategy and the hybrid IP strategy. (Section 2.4) |

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).
