a rare strategy for the comparative construction which recruits a coordinate clause construction (making it similar to the conjoined comparative), but where one clause expresses the proposition that the comparee exceeds the standard (making it similar to the exceed comparative), while the other clause expresses that the gradable predicative scale applies to the comparee, or, sometimes, to the standard instead. Example: Acholi gwok mera dit ki kato meri My dog is bigger than yours is an instance of the conjoined exceed comparative strategy -- the first clause gwok mera dit my dog [is] big attributes size to the comparee, the dog; the second clause kato meri [it] exceeds yours expresses the relation of the comparee to the standard, your dog; and the clauses are conjoined by ki and.
