nsubj: nominal subject

This document is a placeholder for the language-specific documentation for nsubj.

A nominal subject is a noun phrase which is the syntactic subject of a clause. The governor of this relation might not always be a verb: when the verb is a copular verb, the root of the clause is the complement of the copular verb, which can be an adjective or noun.

Juan ha invitado a Pedro . \n Juan has invited Pedro .
