The analysis

The claim asks about basic linguistic terminology (depictive vs. resultative secondary predication) applied to a simple sentence ('he left the room angry'), which is a matter of standard linguistic description and everyday grammatical analysis. None of the retrieved papers discuss this specific English sentence, as they focus on diverse topics ranging from event-related potentials in reading to secondary predication in unrelated languages like Chinese, Hatam, and Chukchi. Because the claim is a direct observation of elementary grammar, it is classified as common knowledge requiring no citation.
