metadata.value: The article is devoted to the description of buyu (补语 bǔyǔ), i. e. a linguistic concept of a
  complement perceived as a special part of a sentence in Chinese linguistics. The problem of
  distinguishing grammatical units of a sentence that share one syntactic function is considered.
  Less than a century ago China did not have any knowledge of theoretical linguistics of its own,
  so it had to borrow the concept from foreign science. Thus, the notion of a complement that
  supplements the semantics of a verb or an adjective in a predicate was introduced by Li Jinxi
  who had borrowed it from English grammars and applied to Chinese syntax. However, soon
  enough it had become a subject of revision. The article reflects how the concept of buyu has
  become a mixture of related linguistic phenomena by its gradual meaning extension. Besides,
  the paper analyses topmost structural and semantic features of the units that perform the role
  of buyu in a sentence, as well as summarises the criteria for distinguishing it from other parts
  of a sentence, i. e. an object and adverbial modifier. It is claimed that a single and consistent
  approach should be employed to the relevant elements with the same syntactic function and
  that the existing descriptions of Chinese grammar should be reexamined providing the concept
  of buyu. Finally, the author stresses the necessity to use the term dopolnitel’niy element
  (‘an additional element’) for terminology consistency in Russian sinological literature.
