Subject complement (original) (raw)
In grammar, a subject complement or predicative of the subject is a predicative expression that follows a linking verb (copula) and that complements the subject of the sentence by either (1) renaming it or (2) describing it. It completes the meaning of the subject. In the former case, a renaming noun phrase such as a noun or pronoun is called a predicative nominal. An adjective following the copula and describing the subject is called a predicative adjective. In either case the predicative complement in effect mirrors the subject. Subject complements are used with a small class of verbs called linking verbs or copulas, of which be is the most common. Since linking verbs are intransitive, subject complements are not affected by any action of the verb. Subject complements are typically neith

| dbo:abstract | In grammar, a subject complement or predicative of the subject is a predicative expression that follows a linking verb (copula) and that complements the subject of the sentence by either (1) renaming it or (2) describing it. It completes the meaning of the subject. In the former case, a renaming noun phrase such as a noun or pronoun is called a predicative nominal. An adjective following the copula and describing the subject is called a predicative adjective. In either case the predicative complement in effect mirrors the subject. Subject complements are used with a small class of verbs called linking verbs or copulas, of which be is the most common. Since linking verbs are intransitive, subject complements are not affected by any action of the verb. Subject complements are typically neither clause arguments nor adjuncts. A predicative complement can be either a subject complement or an object complement. A predicate nominative does not determine the verb. When there is a difference between the number, the verb agrees with the subject. (en) Subjektivt predikativ är en satsdel som kongruensböjs efter subjektet. Subjektivt predikativ förekommer efter verb som vara, bliva, verka, förefalla och heta (förr användes den inom satslösning problematiska benämningen kopulaverb om vissa av dessa verb). Predikativfrågan är den samma som objektsfrågan (vad?). En traditionell benämning på denna satsdel är "predikatsfyllnad". Subjektivt predikativ är en utfyllnad av predikatet, som krävs för att predikatet över huvud taget ska fungera. Predikatet omfattas med andra ord av predikatets valens. Exempel: Rosor äro röda.Johan blev präst.Studenterna verkade galna. Ofta menar man att det finns subjektiva predikativ också i följande exempel: De kallas vajervägar.Vajervägar betraktas som / anses trafiksäkra. Detta är passivkonstruktioner, vilka i sin mer primära form, alltså i aktivum, innehåller ett objektivt predikativ. I språk som inte har subjektstvång kan ovan beskrivna satsdel förekomma i opersonliga konstruktioner, till exempel ryska Cholodno. (Det är kallt). Man skulle med en mer egentlig term kunna kalla detta för opersonligt predikativ, en benämning som dock inte är vedertagen. (sv) |
