| Definition |
a strategy used in syndetic coordination where there are as many coordinators as coordinands. Example: in Upper Kuskokwim dineje ʔɨɬ midzish ʔɨɬ moose and caribou, the coordinator ʔɨɬ occurs with each coordinand. In some cases, the two coordinators are different, as in English Either...or..., as in Either you leave or I leave. (Section 15.2.2) |

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).
