control-based strategy (str)

Type strategy
Definition monoclausal strategies for the causative construction in which the causee is coded differently depending on how much control the causee has in the outcome of the event. Example: in Hungarian, there is a contrast between encoding the causee in the Accusative Case when the causee has no control (Köhögtettem a gyerek-et I made the boy [acc] cough) and encoding the causee in the Instrumental Case when the causee has some control over the outcome (Köhögtettem a gyerek-kel I had the boy [inst] cough). (Section 9.2)
See section (in Croft 2022) 9.2
Example Köhögtettem a gyerek-et
Köhögtettem a gyerek-kel

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).
