The see-in construction, exemplified in sentences like John sees / finds in Mary his best friend involves a relation of predication between the DPs Mary and his best friend . It provides evidence against the hypothesis that predication relations are established uniformly within the syntactic context of clausal structure. The empirical facts show that [ in Mary ] and [ his best friend ] in this example are both complements of see / find . It follows that Mary and his best friend could not possibly be syntactically related as the subject and predicate of a clause, despite the fact that they are engaged in a semantic relation of predication
