The investigation of the complex sentences with complements in Bulgarian is a multifactor analysis, which has to take into account the following issues: a) the lexical meaning of the main predicate, which determines the meaning of the complement in general; b) the grammatical meanings of the main predicate - person (a special role plays the opposition between the speaker and the other participants in communication), number, tense, mood, evidentiality affirmativity or negation; c) the functions of the linking words - complementizers, particles, interrogatives, relatives; d) the meaning of the complement and its related presuppositions or implications (if any), its modality, its illocutionary force, its formal structure, its syntactic position in the complex sentence; e) the combinatorial potential of the matrix sentence and the complement in both aspects - semantic and formal
