| Definition | a strategy found with nonprototypical construction types, such as predicate nominal constructions which express predication of an object concept. The semantic IP strategy is to recruit the strategy used for the prototypical information packaging function of the (actual) information packaging in the nonprototypical construction. Example: in the English Predicate Nominal Construction exemplified by Rich is an excellent violinist, the semantic object concept violinist that is being predicated recruits the construction used for object reference, the prototypical object construction: it is preceded by the article an and the adjective excellent. The semantic IP strategy contrasts with the actual IP strategy and the hybrid IP strategy. (Section 2.4) |

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).
