csubj: clausal subject

A clausal subject is a clausal syntactic subject of a clause, i.e., the subject is itself a clause.

Kitabı oku –manız gerek . \n You need to read the book (You reading the book is necessary)
csubj(gerek, –manız)
Kitabı oku –mak gerek . \n You need to read the book (Reading the book is necessary)
csubj(gerek, –mak)

TODO: link to the explanation of splitting of subordinating suffixes.

The following needs more discussion We also analyze the nominal predicates with clausal subjects formed by subordinating conjunction ki similarly. In the METU-Sabancı treebank they are marked (somewhat inconsistently) as modifiers rather than main predicates.

İyi ki okumuşsun . \n Good that you have read (that you read it is good)
csubj(İyi, okumuşsun)
Tabii ki okudum . \n Of course I read it (that I read it is natural)
csubj(Tabii, okumuşsun)
