discourse reference system (str)

Type strategy

Definition a system where both same-subject and different-subject reference tracking constructions use the standard discourse reference strategies found in connected discourse. Discourse reference systems are found when both same-subject and different-subject constructions are balanced. Example: in Spanish, syndetic coordinate constructions such as El Gobierno Nacional volvió a prorrogar los actuales mandatos en los sindicatos y Øi suspend los preocesos electorales hasta 2021 express the same-subject relation in the same way as in connected discourse -- namely, with zero anaphora and subject person indexation on the verb.

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).
