xcomp:ds: clausal complement with different subject
The dependency type xcomp:ds, which stands for clausal
complement with different subject, is a subtype of xcomp (open clausal complement).
It is used for clausal complements where the subject of the complement clause is inherited from the higher clause, but it’s not a subject of the governing clause (if it is a subject, xcomp is used instead). Basically, this means that the subject of the complementing clause must be the object of the complemented clause. These complements are always non-finite.
Note that this subtype represents a departure from the general UD taxonomy approach in differentiating between inherited subject and object (see Syntax: General Principles).
