Abstract
This study examines complements of attribution and secondary object complements, focusing on their syntactic and semantic roles in sentence structures. The research explores the boundaries between these two constructs, often overlooked in linguistic studies, to provide a more refined understanding of their interaction and functionality. The primary objectives include identifying the distinct features of complements of attribution, analyzing their relationship with secondary object complements, and investigating their usage across various linguistic contexts.The study addresses key questions: What differentiates complements of attribution from secondary object complements? How do these complements contribute to sentence meaning? What patterns emerge in their usage across languages? Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from linguistic corpora, and syntactic analyses were performed to identify recurring patterns and anomalies.Key findings reveal that complements of attribution exhibit greater flexibility in contextual interpretation compared to secondary object complements, which are more constrained by grammatical rules. This research contributes to linguistic theory by highlighting the functional diversity of these constructs and proposing a refined classification framework. The findings hold significance for advancing syntactic theory, improving computational linguistic models, and fostering a deeper understanding of language structure. Future research may explore their application in multilingual and psycholinguistic studies.
