Reason

Typically, there is a constituent expressing the Reason for the Communicator's judgment. It is usually a for-PP. Jon extolled Madie for her efforts. It can also sometimes be expressed as an as-phrase, when that phrase picks out the reason for the praise or critique. The book was ridiculed as an example of all the worst of post-modernism. For some words, Reason is an obligatory FE. In other words, the FE may be ommitted only when the Reason for the judgment is understood from context, as when it is clear why an Evaluee is being blamed. I blame you.
