| Definition | the strategy of construing the affected subject participant as playing two distinct roles in a reflexive or reciprocal event; hence, it is expressed by two distinct argument phrases in a reflexive construction or a reciprocal construction, but with a special form functioning as the nonsubject argument phrase. Examples: English I saw myself and Mary and Sue praised each other construe the participants -- I, and Mary and Sue, respectively -- as playing two roles in the seeing and praising event, but with special object forms myself and each other to express that the events are a reflexive event and a reciprocal event, respectively.

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).
