Preliminary Recommendations

Conclusions

Since we are only concerned with subcategorisation, only subcategorisable functions are taken into consideration.

Necessary specifications
-- The subject/complement and tex2html_wrap_inline7709predicative distinctions. All the theories we have reviewed make use of these differences.

Recommended specification
-- A further partition of complements into direct (DCOMP) and indirect (ICOMP). LFG, UCG and HPSG use this difference.

Useful
-- A more fine-grained distinction à la LFG, introducing further labels for clausal complements (COMP, XCOMP) and second objects (OBJ2).
