	Exercise II, B
		Subject = iaH, 'moon'; predicate = 'rises in the sky'; verb wbn, 'to rise', is a circumstantial/aorist verb form.
		The main clause is non-verbal, the subordinate clause is verbal (aorist/circumstantial verb form).
		The predicate is composed of two adverbial phrases; a plain adverb im, and then an adverbial modifier phrase consisting of a preposition (m) and a noun (pr).

	PREDICATE - Definition
		S.] Note: Predicate is sometimes used in the United States for found or base; as, to predicate an argument on certain principles; to predicate a statement on information received.
		Predicate is a term in logic, and used only in a single case, namely, when we affirm one thing of another.
		In these propositions, ``Paper is white,'' ``Ink is not white,'' whiteness is the predicate affirmed of paper and denied of ink.

	VISL - Portuguese Syntax (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Here the concerning predication is a nexus between explicit and implicitly anaphoric material (the latter expressed in the parent clause), linked not by a predicator but by a subordinator.
		Transitive verbs with agent subjects and patient objects (abrir, fechar, comer) can be used both after ter, ser and estar, ergative verbs with patient subjects without objects (chegar, desaparecer, nascer) only after ter and estar, and intransitive verbs with agent subjects without objects (trabalhar, rir, brincar) only after ter.
		Predicative participle clauses (b) have the same subject as the main clause, and inflect accordingly.

		In this case, there is an alteration in the position of the nominal with respect to the verb: while the object normally follows the verb, it is always preposed to the left of the ver- bal root when it is incorporated.
		Predicative possessive sentences do not have a verb (which in Guarani is marked by a different set of subject agreement markers), but have a predicative nom- inal as clausal head.
		Given the fact that the verb reko does not convey intimate possession, it is natural that possession of kinship and body-part terms is not usually encoded with this type of structure (see examples in section 3 on the inalienable/alienable dis- tinction).

	Predicative verb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A predicative verb is a verb that behaves as a grammatical adjective, that is, it predicates (qualifies or informs about the properties of its argument).
		It is a special kind of stative verb.
		Many languages do not use the present forms of the verb "to be" to separate an adjective from its noun: instead, these forms of the verb "to be" are understood as part of the adjective.

	Aristotle's Metaphysics
		But there is no predicative complex corresponding to the fact that this is a horse in the way that there is such a complex corresponding to the fact that this horse is white.
		The answer Aristotle proposes is that the cause of being of a substance (e.g., of a house) is the form or essence that is predicated of the matter (e.g., of the bricks and stones) that constitute that substance.
		But the substantial form of a material compound, because it is predicated (accidentally) of the matter of the compound, is the cause of the compound's being the kind of thing that it is. The form is therefore, in a derivative way, the substance of the compound, as well.

	Clause analysis: Help (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		A main clause is a clause which has a finite verb phrase functioning as verb and which is not introduced by a a subordinator.
		The object predicative (oP) is the clause element which typically indicates a property of the person/animal/thing referred to by the direct object noun phrase.
		We are here concerned with the clause element verb, but it is, typically, realized by a verb phrase which, in its turn, is made up from one or more words of the word class verb, possibly also including the negator not.

	Two types of structures for Complex Predicates in Romance Languages
		The predicative verbs of the ‛to be’ type are a particularly promising (though up to now rather neglected) field of study when trying to answer such questions.
		We argue that these properties can be explained by assuming that psych verb classes differ in their aspectual structure (Grimshaw 1990, Tenny 1994), and by further assuming that nominalization processes operate solely over the thematic structure of a predicate, but cannot refer to the aspectual structure of a verbal predicate.
		Psych verbs refer to an attitudinal or emotional relation between two entities where the precise nature of this relation is part of the lexical meaning of the verb.

		The relationship between the main verb and its complements reflects the relationship between an action, the participants in the action and various accompanying circumstances: The dog was chasing the cat across the lawn.
		Clauses with monotransitive verbs can be passivized: the Verb is then marked for passive voice, the original dO becomes the S, and the original S is either dropped (The ambassador was bitten) or incorporated in an agent prepositional phrase (The ambassador was bitten by the police dog).
		If a clause with a ditransitive verb is passivized, either the iO (normally) or the dO in the original clause is made S in the passive clause: She was given this rose by the baron vs.

		Despite major disagreement about the force of the verb and both the sense and reference of the subject term, there is none about the syntax.
		Rather, the verb is predicative, esti the predicate, and to hen the implied or explicit subject.
		Thus, the formulation of the hypotheses is uniformly predicational.

	Grammar glossary
		In contrast to predicative adjectives, attributive adjectives generally represent properties of the noun referent that are taken for granted, and are not 'up for discussion'.
		The base form of a noun is its singular form, while the base form of verbs is the (bare) infinitive, and of adjectives and adverbs, the positive form.
		The complementation of a verb thus consists in supplying all the elements that are necessary for that verb to function as a verb in a grammatical clause.

		The object predicative complement and the infinitive of the object with infinitive construction share a position, followed by a field for bound content adverbials (Han bor i Lund ‘he lives in Lund’) and prepositional objects (Han ser på henne ‘he is looking at her’).
		The object of a transitive verb may be a reflexive pronoun, as in he killed himself, where the reflexive can be replaced by another pronoun (he killed her) or a full noun phrase (he killed the man) without any other change than the one signalled by the choice of object.
		With reflexive verb is meant such a use of verb + reflexive that is lexicalized as a semantically homogenous unit where the reflexive does not have a clear referent: in such a case, the reflexive pronoun cannot be replaced by a noun.

	A Minimal Syntax of Swedish
		Swedish is a verb second language (no more than one constituent may precede the tensed verb) with obligatory subject, no subject-verb agreement and no cases.
		Almost any constituent may be in the position in front of the tensed verb, although in most cases we find the subject here (in 60-70% of the cases), as in (6a).
		In the examples in (6) the tensed verb is bold underlined, and the constituent in front of it in bold italics.

	What is Ontology? Definitions by leading philosophers (Second part)
		In most Indo-European languages we must distinguish at least eleven variants of the verb `to be', which leads to a rather rich variety of verb-type-ontologies.
		The verb `to be' has its basic form in the context `S is P', where it denotes a binary relation.
		By specification of variants of the verb `to be' we obtain variants of the verb-type-ontology, for example the ontology of things and properties and the set-theoretic ontology.

	The Sentence
		The Predicate of a sentence consists of the verb and its modifiers and complements.
		The predicate expresses the action or condition of the subject.

		For prepositions, the governing word was generally the noun or verb that the prepositional phrase modified.
		(Because of the context-sensitive dynamic parsing goals that were added when a verb or a governing noun was recognized, it was possible to identify what was modified.) For the adjectives and numbers, the governing word was generally the noun that was modified.
		For verbs, the attributes include its segment, position in the sentence, the subcategorization type (from a set of 30 types), its arguments, its base form (when inflected), and its grammatical role (when used as an adjective).

	Universality of grammar and grammatical universals (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The original predicative verb has only the (traditional) function to mark tense (present) and person, and this is why it is interpreted as mere concomitant form to the past participle of the verb (I have planned something).
		We don't have any neutral verb forms anymore as far as tense is concerned (for the predicative verb), thus, the listener does no longer interpret with regard to the context, but orientates himself by the grammatical morpheme.
		Thus is also preserved the marking of the person as far as the verb is concerned by means of an ending or a subject pronoun, which has the function of word formation as well as a grammatical function (marking of the subject).
