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.otherclassificationpredicative complementdependent clauses in the position of the predicativesemantics of the predicatesArticle
