  What is a complement?
Traditionally, a complement is a constituent of a clause, such as a noun phrase or adjective phrase, that is used to predicate a description of the subject or object of the clause.
In generative syntax, a complement is a phrasal or clausal category which is selected (subcategorized) by the head of a phrase.
The complement/ adjunct distinction cross-cuts the core/ oblique distinction, since there are obliques which are complements, and other obliques which are adjuncts.

 LSA: About Linguistics
Linguistics is, broadly, the scientific study of language, and many topics are studied under this umbrella.
Linguists investigate how linguistic knowledge of this kind is acquired, how it interacts with other mental processes, how it varies from person to person and region to region (even within one language), and how computer programs can model this knowledge.
Students are also encouraged to complement their linguistic studies with courses in related areas (such as psychology, cognitive science, anthropology, or computer science) to be more well-rounded and better informed.
