| Definition |
a strategy for the ditransitive construction in which the T role and R role are co-expressed with the possessive modification construction, so that the noun denoting the participant in the T role is the head and the noun denoting the participant in the R role is the possessive modifier. Example: in Mokilese ngoah insigeh-di kijinlikkoan-oaw nih-mw I wrote a letter to/for you, nih-mw [ youris a possessive modifier of kijinlikkoan-oaw a letter. The internal recipient strategy is an instance of the internal possessor strategy. (Section 7.5.3) |

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).
