This list  should be considered exhaustive (see \quirk\ sections 16.21-24).  \index{PRD@-PRD}  % i.e. no -PRD should be added directly under a verb not appearing here  % until that verb has been officially added to this list.  \begin{quote}  be (friendly/my friend/at home) [adj/n/adv]  appear (happy/the only solution) [adj/n]\\  feel (annoyed/a fool) [adj/n]\\  look (pretty/a fine day) [adj/n]\\  seem (restless/a genius) [adj/n]\\  smell (sweet) [adj]\\  sound (surprised/a reasonable idea) [adj/n]\\  taste (bitter) [adj]  remain (uncertain/good friends) [adj/n]\\  keep (silent) [adj]\\  stay (motionless/good friends) [adj/n]  become (older/an expert) [adj/n]\\  come (true) [adj]\\  end up (happy/her slave) [adj/n]\\  get (ready) [adj]\\  go (sour) [adj]\\  grow (tired) [adj]\\  prove (rather useful/his equal) [adj/n]\\  turn (cold/traitor) [adj/n]\\  turn out (fortunate/a success) [adj/n]\\  wind up (drunk/a millionaire) [adj/n]  \end{quote}  %1.  \subsubsection{Adjectival}  \begin{verbatim}  (S (NP-SBJ The dog)  (VP is/appears/seems  (ADJP-PRD happy)))  \end{verbatim}  \begin{verbatim}  (S (NP-SBJ That food)  (VP looks/smells/tastes  (ADJP-PRD awful)))  \end{verbatim}  \begin{verbatim}  (S (INTJ Please)  (NP-SBJ *)  (VP keep/remain/stay  (ADJP-PRD silent)))  \end{verbatim}  This includes ``pseudo-adjectives'' (see \RefSC).  \begin{verbatim}  (S (NP-SBJ Things)  (VP seem  (PP-PRD under  (NP control))))  \end{verbatim}  %2.  \subsubsection{Nominal}  \begin{verbatim}  (S (NP-SBJ Your safety belt)  (VP is-PRD your friend))  \end{verbatim}  \begin{verbatim}  (S (NP-SBJ-1 The former chief executive)  (VP will  (VP remain  (NP-PRD chairman)))  .)  \end{verbatim}  \begin{verbatim}  (S (NP-SBJ The new student)  (VP proved  (NP-PRD an idiot)))  \end{verbatim}  but note:  \begin{verbatim}  (S (NP-SBJ The new student)  (VP proved  (NP a theorem)))  \end{verbatim}  %3.  \subsubsection{Adverbial}  Adverbial predicates should only be tagged -PRD when they follow {\it be}\/  or in a {\it do so}\/ construction. \index{PRD@-PRD}  \begin{itemize}  \item after {\it be}  \begin{verbatim}  (S (NP-SBJ (NP much)  (PP of  (NP the action)))  (VP was  (PP-LOC-PRD in  (NP heating oil))))  \end{verbatim}  \begin{verbatim}  (S (NP-SBJ The party)  (VP will  (VP be  (PP-TMP-PRD at  (NP eleven)))))  \end{verbatim}  \begin{verbatim}  (S (NP-SBJ business)  (VP is  (ADVP-PRD up  (NP 35 %))  (PP-TMP in  (NP the past year))))  \end{verbatim}  \item {\it do so}\/ constructions \index{do so constructions@{\it do so}\/  constructions}  \begin{verbatim}  (S (SBAR-ADV while the SEC regulates who files)  ,  (NP-SBJ the law)  (VP tells  (NP them)  (SBAR (WHADVP-1 when)  (S (NP-SBJ *)  (VP to  (VP do  (ADVP-PRD so)  (ADVP-TMP *T*-1)))))))  \end{verbatim}  \begin{verbatim}  (S (S (NP-SBJ I)  (VP attend))  , and  (SINV (ADVP-PRD-TPC-1 so)  (VP does  (ADVP-PRD *T*-1))  (NP-SBJ (NP a television crew)  (PP from  (NP New York City)))))  \end{verbatim}  \end{itemize}  However, adverbial modifiers are sometimes erroneously tagged -PRD in  sentences such as {\it Mandela remains in prison}\/.  %4.  \subsubsection{Clausal}  Forms of {\it be}\/ can also take clausal complements:  \begin{verbatim}  (S (NP-SBJ its purpose)  (VP is  (S-PRD (NP-SBJ *)  (VP to  (VP gauge  (NP learning progress))))))  \end{verbatim}  \begin{verbatim}  (S (NP-SBJ The theory)  (VP was  (SBAR-PRD that  (S (NP-SBJ the Voice)  (VP is  (NP-PRD a propaganda agency))))))  \end{verbatim}  including some fairly unusual ones:  \begin{verbatim}  (S (ADVP-TMP Now)  (NP-SBJ the question)  (VP is :  (SQ-PRD Is  (NP-SBJ Poland)  (ADJP-PRD ready  (PP for  (NP it))))))  \end{verbatim}  However, when {\it be}\/ acts as a semimodal, the following S should not get  -PRD:  \begin{verbatim}  (S (NP-SBJ-1 You)  (VP are  (S (NP-SBJ *-1)  (VP to  (VP resign  (ADVP-TMP immediately))))))  \end{verbatim}  \index{copular verbs!simple copular complements|)}  %B.  \subsection{Related constructions}  It is noted in \quirk\ that, for many of the above verbs with nominal  complements, English speakers (especially Americans) tend to (strongly)  prefer a variant containing {\it to be}\/ or {\it like}\/ instead of just a  simple NP\@. The Treebank treats such constructions as follows:  %1.  \subsubsection{The ``like'' versions}  Verbs that take a complement mediated by {\it like}\/ should be bracketed  with a -CLR tag rather than -PRD.  \begin{verbatim}  (S (NP-SBJ That)  (VP sounds  (PP-CLR like  (NP a reasonable idea))))  \end{verbatim}  \begin{verbatim}  (S (NP-SBJ It)  (VP looks  (PP-CLR like  (NP a fine day))))  \end{verbatim}  %2.  \subsubsection{The ``to be'' versions}  Versions with {\it to be}\/ are bracketed as complement clauses (as described  in \RefSC, under ``Null subject clausal complements'').  \begin{verbatim}  (S (NP-SBJ-3 That)  (VP appears  (S (NP-SBJ *-3)  (VP to  (VP be  (NP-PRD the only solution))))))  \end{verbatim}  \index{copular verbs|)}  %\printindex  %\end{document}
