In Generative syntax, COMP is an abbreviation of complementizer.
Comments
The form COMP was widely used in the classical period of Government-Binding theory in the 1980s. Since the 1990s, the simple abbreviation C has become more frequent, probably because it was widely seen as projecting a phrase CP since the late 1980s.
