In the sentence, "The judge settled the dispute in favour of John", is "in favour of John" a resultative? I am being asked to explain what this string shows about the verb "settle".

Thanks!

    "The dispute" is Od of "settled" and the PP "in favour of John" is complement of "settled"

  • That works, but I'd prefer to consider in favour of John as a complement of the VP settled the dispute.
