Similar constructions are well recorded and described in Croatian and international literature. Verbs doživjeti and doživljavati can evoke a prototypical transitive structure, but can also be accompanied with a third complement which, according to the approach selected, is analyzed and termed secondary predication, predicate instrumental, predicate expansion or is together with an accusative nominal analyzed as a small clause. The instrumental nominal or adjective is sometimes considered as parallel to the kao-phrase (‘as-phrase’).
