Definition monoclausal strategies for the causative construction in which the causee in the causative event is coded differently depending on the valency of the corresponding base event. Example: in Turkish, the causee in a causative event is encoded in the Accusative Case if the base event is monovalent (Ali Hasan-t öl-dür-dü Ali killed Hasan [acc]), and in the Dative Case if the base event is bivalent (Dişçi mektub-u müdür-e imzala-t-tí The dentist got the director [dat] to sign the letter).

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).
