an absolute deranking system where the same-subject and different-subject reference tracking constructions systematically use different deranked constructions.

She carried the child and came and stayed, they hit [= killed] the pigs and...imai-te-pa [( she, and mene-a-te [stay-3sg-DS] is a deranked predicate form with the different-subject deranking morpheme -te since the following subject switches to they.

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).
