Definition a morpheme that overtly expresses the coordination relation in a coordinate construction. Example: in She picked up the pieces and dumped them in the wastebasket, and is the coordinator.

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).
