Syntactic function PP+V{PRED}(.postN{SUBJ})
complex particle followed by and in construction with a verbal predicate, this whole predicate characteristically having a contextually determinate omitted subject.
The point of this category is to register the characteristic idiomatically almost obligatory absence of the subject. This kind of case must be carefully distinguished from the case where the V in question is subjectless, i.e. v0 in our current system. In fact, v0 cannot occur in the position V in this formula.
