<p>is it just that `done' as an adjective is in the ERG as requiring
a complement and should be allowed to appear without one? as in
"the chicken is done" etc So a matter of a modification to a

<p class="MsoNormal">I suspect the reading you are looking for
instead involves a sense of "done" conveying completion of
an unspecified event, rather than a passive variant of "do".
I’m not sure that sense is implemented in the ERG, although
I can’t speak for Dan for sure on that. I see parses with
that sense when the event in question is an explicit
complement of the adjective "done", e.g. for:<u></u><u></u></p>
