| Oct 25, 2023 at 18:03 | comment | added | John Lawler | This works like elect, appoint, designate, etc. to specify a role or title to one argument. I've called these 3-place predicates, but they're not transfer predicates like send, give, bring, or the like. They may just be a special construction with an extra NP after the object. | |
