| Definition |
a word order strategy for externally headed relative clause constructions in which the relative clause precedes the relative clause head. Example: in Turkish [Hasanın Sinana ver-diğ-i] patatesi yedim I ate the potato that Hasan gave to Sinan, the Hasanın Sinana ver-diğ-i [that] Hasan gave to Sinanis prenominal because it precedes the relative clause head patatesi potato. The prenominal strategy is much less common than the postnominal strategy, and is strongly correlated with object--verb word order. (Section 19.2.2) |

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).
