This paper assesses the exact function of the complement introduced by EN in structures such as Elle a teint ses rideaux en rouge (literally, She dyed her curtains ‘in'red). Since these complements answer the question How ?, the possibility of viewing them as object-oriented manner adverbials is first investigated – and discarded. They are then paralleled to the secondary predicates already identified for other resultative constructions. But I show that they depart from the complements of inherently resultative verbs such as mettre (cf. literally ‘put X in anger/put X pregnant'), which direcly select either a PP projected by the preposition EN or an AP. We propose that they pattern rather like transformer (cf. lit. ‘transform X in frog') : the complement corresponds to a resultative augmentation of the argument structure of the verb, with EN (lit. ‘in') acting as a Result functional head selecting either for a NP (with transformer) or an AP (with teindre).
