ccomp: clausal complement
A clausal complement of a verb or adjective is a dependent clause which is a core argument. That is, it functions like an object of the verb, or adjective.
Он говорит , что она работает в музее . \n He says , that she works in a museum .
ccomp(говорит, работает)
ccomp(says, works)
Я рада , что мы встретились . \n I am glad that we met .
ccomp(рада, встретились)
ccomp(glad, met)
Note that if the clausal complements is nonfinite (infinitive), then it is labeled xcomp. In the first sentence below the subject of the clausal complement is not controlled (that is, it can be different as the higher subject or object, with no other possible interpretation).
Генерал потребовал , чтобы мы вышли . \n General demanded that we leave .
ccomp(потребовал, вышли)
ccomp(demanded, leave)
Генерал приказал нам выйти . \n General ordered us to-leave .
xcomp(приказал, выйти)
xcomp(ordered, to-leave)
xcomp is typical for modal and phase verbs.
Мы начали писать тест . \n We started to-write test .
xcomp(начали, писать)
xcomp(started, to-write)
If the correlative pronoun to ‘that’ etc. is used with the head predicate, then the clausal complements is attached to the pronoun with acl:
Я верю в то , что все будет хорошо . \n I believe in that that everything will be fine .
acl(то, хорошо)
acl(that-15, fine)
