Summary/Abstract: Starting from the theory of valence and in it established criteria and operational tests of classification and definition of complements, we apply and check these theoretical and methodological assumptions in this paper on the category of syntactic object, direct and indirect, with one main goal - to point out the flaws and problems in such an approach, and the consistency and general applicability of following categories: obligacy and optionality of complements in the process of syntactic analysis and differentiation of basic sentence and syntagmatic constituents.
