The Head-Complement Structure is a fundamental concept in syntax that describes the relationship between a head (a word that determines the grammatical nature of a phrase) and its complements (words or phrases that complete the meaning of the head). This structure is crucial for understanding how sentences are constructed and how meaning is conveyed in language.
