Some grammatical questions

To whom it may concern

Hello, my name is Yie, Seok Jin from South Korea.
I hope someone could take care of my grammatical questions below.

The following is about the syntactic structure.
A. causative verb

The Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English defines the word “make” as follows:
? CAUSE A STATE/SITUATION: to cause a particular state or situation or make something happen.
make sb/sth do sth – That tune makes me want to dance, He makes me laugh...
make sb ill/happy/popular – The decision made her very unpopular, It makes me so angry...
? FORCE SB TO DO STH: to force someone to do something, or force something to happen.
make sb do do sth – They made us write it out again ten times, Marcia made the poor girl cry...

I think the sentence “He makes me cry/laugh” can be analysed both ways:
1. It can be analysed as Subject + Verb + Object(small clause/IP) according to the concept of the definition ? CAUSE A STATE/SITUATION.
2. It can be analysed as Subject + Verb + Object + S/CP [(for me) (to) cry] according to the concept of the definition ? FORCE SB TO DO STH.
Is the analysis above appropriate? Or should I refer to more specific subcategorisation feature of the word
“make”? If so, where can I find it?

B. Other structure
They elected him [PRO Consul] – subcategorisation feature [+_____NP S].
The thought drove him [PRO mad].
Leave me [PRO alone].
They beat him [PRO balck and blue].
They left no nook of corner [PRO unexplored].
While, according to Onions’ “Five Forms Theory, the form/structure of the sentences above can be classified
as 5th form ; Subject + Object + Objective complement/predicate, it also might be analysed as Subject +
Verb + Object + S/CP. Under the prospect of contemporary grammar, which is correct or rather appropriate,
and why?

I would be greatly appreciative if you let me have your kind contemporary grammatical information on the
above.

Best regards,
