I am trying to understand SpaCy's analysis of "Complements" in sample sentences. Consider the following sentence:
Most students have found her reasonably helpful.
This is cited here as an example of an SVOC - complex-transitive clause.
The dependency graph is as follows:
I am trying to understand why SpaCy does not identify "her" as having a dependency of "dobj". I assume that SpaCy is regarding "her reasonably helpful" as a clausal complement of the verb "found" and that this clause is serving as the object complement of that verb.
Continuing on the topic of "complements" and "direct objects". The following sentence:
She painted the room blue.
Is the "room" not receiving the action (dobj) and is "blue" not an object complement? What in SpaCy's analysis would indicate the presence of a complement?
