ccomp: clausal complement

A clausal complement of a predicate is a dependent clause which is a core argument. That is, it functions like an object of the predicate.

We split the verbal noun suffixes, and mark them as the head of the subordinate clause. The unit with the subordinating suffix is tagged as noun. However, we still use ccomp for the relation between the higher level clause and the clausal object.

At present, we use ccomp only for direct objects, i.e., non-finite noun phrases in accusative or nominative Case. The arguments in other cases are marked using nmod relation or appropriate subtype of it.
