a strategy found in complement clause constructions in which the argument structure construction associated with the complement-taking predicate is completely distinct from the argument structure construction associated with the complement - predicate. Example: the sentence Terry believes that the company will give her a raise next month uses a split argument structure strategy: the CTP believes has its own Subject (Terry) and Object (the complement clause), and the complement predicate will give has its own Subject (the company), Objects (her and a raise), and Oblique (next month).
