| Definition |
alternative strategies found with serial verb and auxiliary constructions, whether they are contiguous or not. Example: in Jeh ĕn loh chièu reng rŭp bùh cha chŏ̀'wan He went out and got somebody's pig and roasted and ate it, the serial verbs loh chièu reng rŭp bùh cha [exit go search catch roast eat] are all contiguous. Another alternative contiguity strategy in auxiliary constructions is to position the auxiliary in a fixed position in the clause, typically second position, rather than relative to the position of the verb in the auxiliary construction.

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).
