| "The researchers consider the topic irrelevant" I think it is S+V+OD+ ADJETIVE. But the adjetive makes it confusing. I don't know if it is Monotransitive or what. Can somebody help me? Thanks a lot!! |

These are often known as "raising" constructions, because what is logically the subject of an embedded clause is lifted out of its clause, so to speak, to become the direct object of the main clause. So not monotransitive. I think I have also seen the expression "complex transitive" for them, but would have to check that. |

| And here's the pattern (a bit different to the one from the linked text): S-P-Od-Co, where S stands for the Subject; P for the Predicator; Od for the Direct Object; Co for the Object Complement. |
