Definition a strategy for the applicative construction in which the event including the participant expressed as the applicative object is expressed in a single clause with a simple predicate (not a complex predicate). Example: Nomatsiguenga na-manantë-ne-ro kayeta [I-buy-ben.appl-her cracker] I bought crackers for her is an example of the monoclausal/simple predicate applicative strategy, with a single verb na-manantë-ne-ro.

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).
