argument complex predicate
a complex predicate in which one element denotes an event and is expressed as a verb, but the other element denotes an object and is expressed in an argument phrase, yet the verb--argument combination has lexicalized to have a unitary meaning. Example: in Spanish Pero está haciendo bastante sol But it's really sunny [lit. But it is making a lot of sun], haciendo...sol making sun is an instance of an argument complex predicate. (Section 13.6)
