| Definition | a set of strategies found in comparative and equative constructions in which the flagging of the standard is derived from the flagging of the comparee. Example: I love you more than him uses a derived-case strategy -- the referring phrase referring to the standard, him, uses the Object flag because the referring phrase referring to the comparee, you, is in the Object case. Derived-case strategies include the conjoined comparative strategy, the particle comparative and equative strategies, the conjoined exceed comparative strategy, the relative-based equative strategy, and the relative equal equative strategy.

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).
