A nonverbal clause construction (a cover term) is a clause that is equational, or ascriptive, or locopossessional, or hyparctic.
The term is from Haspelmath (2025). It corresponds to the earlier term "nonverbal predication" (Hengeveld 1992; Creissels et al. 2026), but it does not include "predication" because some nonverbal clauses are non-predicational. Moreover, it also includes attributional clauses (= clauses with a property predicate) that are very verb-like in a particular language.
