ccomp: clausal complement

A clausal complement (ccomp) of a verb or adjective is a dependent clause which is a core argument. Such clausal complements may be finite or nonfinite. If the subject of the clausal complement is controlled (that is, must be the same as the higher subject, object or indirect object, with no other possible interpretation) the appropriate relation is xcomp.
