xcomp: open clausal complement
An open clausal complement (xcomp) of a verb or an adjective is a predicative or clausal complement without its own subject. The reference of the subject is necessarily determined by an argument external to the xcomp (normally by the object of the next higher clause, if there is one, or else by the subject of the next higher clause). These complements are always non-finite, and they are complements (arguments of the higher verb or adjective) rather than adjuncts/modifiers, such as a purpose clause. The name xcomp is borrowed from Lexical-Functional Grammar.
Han säger att du gillar att simma \n He says that you like to swim

Nu kan vi låta barnen studera om de vill \n Now we can let the children study if they want to
xcomp(låta, studera)
Jag betraktar honom som min vän \n I consider him as my friend
xcomp(betraktar, vän)
