DEPENDENT CLAUSES IN THE POSITION OF THE PREDICATIVE – SPECIFICS AND CLASSIFICATION
Abstract
The object of the current study are the dependent clauses in the position of
the predicative, which are part of the paradigm of dependent clauses. They fall into
the empty syntactic position of the predicative complement or predicative, filling it
and performing its functions. The paper presents and explains the various points of
view regarding the place of dependent clauses in the position of the predicative in
the paradigm of dependent clauses. Furthermore, it clarifies the semantical role of
the predicates in the main clause by classifying the dependent clauses which fill the
position of the predicative complement.
