Abstract Some verbs, as predicate head, require just NPs as core arguments, whereas others may accept an NP or a complement clause in certain roles.

That-clauses and other complements
Lingua, 1991Abstract The fundamental assumption of the present paper is that complementizers have specific communicative function. We propose a tripartite distinction of complementizers in English.

This paper focuses on Romanian main clauses that display the complementizer ‘that’, and may also allow for the re-iteration of this element at the left periphery. The analysis capitalizes on the proposal in current studies that a field for encoding conversational pragmatics is projected at the left periphery of clauses above ForceP.
