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.
