1. The locative comparative is an instance of fixed-case adverbial comparative constructions, in which the standard NP is invariably encoded as a constituent part of an adverbial phrase which is marked by an element with the basic meaning ‘on’ or ‘at’.2. Languages in which the deranking procedure does not obtain a structural condition on subject-identity and where a deranked predicate can have its own overt subject are called ABSOLUTE deranking languages. 3. A SIMULTANEOUS chain is a construction type which expresses a situation in which two events happen at the same point in time, or a situation in which two states obtain at the same point in time. 4. Cf. ##986, 997.
