Definition

a stative complex predicate in which the stative component of the complex predicate describes a state that results from the performance of the event denoted by the main predicate. Hence, the stative event temporally follows the main predicate event. A resultative complex predicate is participant-oriented. Example: in English We painted the door red, painted...red is a resultative complex predicate, and red describes the result state of a participant, the door, after the painting event is done.
