Abstract
This paper discusses a set of constructions I call Reduced Complements (RCs). These are constructions where a verb directly follows another verb making them a subcategory of serial verb constructions (SVCs). Following an approach to restructuring where size reduction arises if not all domains of the clause are projected, I argue that RCs are projections of VP. Thus, RCs are VP complements.
