http://example.org/cx/hasExample u menja mašina
Definition a strategy for the presentational possession construction in which the possessum is expressed in a subject phrase and the possessor in an oblique phrase which is locative, or probably locative, in origin. Example: Russian u menja mašina [at me car] I have a car is an instance of the locational possessive strategy. The locational possessive strategy essentially recruits a locative clause, in particular a presentational locative, to express possession. (Section 10.4.2)

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).
