Complex Predicates examines a number of linguistic phenomena--including auxiliary and verb combinations, causative constructions, predicatives, depictive secondary predicates, and particle and verb combinations--and uses scrambling and fronting data to determine that all except the depictive secondary predicates should be treated as complex predicates. M ller's analysis of inflection and derivation is compatible with syntactical analysis of particle verbs; as a byproduct, it also solves the particle verb bracketing paradox often discussed in the literature.
