== Complement Clauses ==
Next, we come to the exciting topic of complement (= subordinate) clauses. Here are two examples:
(1) Fred thought that Lilly disappeared<br>
(2) Fred enquired whether Lilly disappeared
There is nothing really special about these structures. As with prepositional phrases, we need
# lexical items for the new verbs
# lexical items for the two complementizers ''that'' and ''whether''
# two new phrase structure rules.
We make the following assumptions:
# ''that'' and ''whether'' belong to the part of speech C (= complementizer).
# Complementizers head CPs.
# CPs take two daughers: a C and an IP. The two daughters are co-heads of the CP.
# You need to add a new VP rule which allows a VP to consist of a V and a CP. The CP bears the GF '''COMP'''.
# Complementizers have no PRED value.
