ccomp: clausal complement

A clausal complement of a verb or adjective is a finite dependent clause which functions like an object of the verb or adjective.

Διαβεβαίωσε ότι οι εθελοντές θα συνεχίσουν το έργο τους .
ccomp(Διαβεβαίωσε, συνεχίσουν)

For clausal complements for nouns, see acl .

For clausal complements where the subject of the complement clause obligatorily corefers with an argument (subject or object) of the higher clause, see xcomp.

θέλει να αρχίσουν να γράφουν
ccomp(θέλει, αρχίσουν)
xcomp(αρχίσουν, γράφουν)

The relative pronoun όσος may introduce clauses that depend on a verb with the ccomp function as in the example in CONLLU format below. This example could be paraphrased to the fully synonymous στο μάτι έβαλε η Τρόϊκα όλους όσους είναι κάτω από 62 “Troika targets those who are less than 62 years old” where the object όλους” is explicit and the pronoun *όσους has it as an explicit target.
