| Definition |
a strategy for the relative clause construction in which the relative clause is juxtaposed to the matrix clause. Example: Warlpiri ŋatʲuluɭu ɳa yankiri pantuɳu [kutʲalpa ŋapa ŋaɳu] I speared the emu which was drinking waterillustrates the adjoined strategy -- the relative clause kutʲalpa ŋapa ŋaɳu which was drinking wateris juxtaposed to the matrix clause ŋatʲuluɭu ɳa yankiri pantuɳu I speared the emu, and not adjacent to the relative clause head yankiri emu. The adjoined strategy is quite rare and largely found in Australian languages, where it is identical to the temporal adverbial clause construction and presumably recruited from it. (Section 19.2.3) |

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).
