nsubj: nominal subject

A nominal subject is a noun phrase which is the syntactic subject of a clause.

Ali okuyor . \n Ali is reading
nsubj(okuyor, Ali)

For existential sentences, “the thing that exists” is the subject. This includes possessive existentials.

Üç kitap var . \n There are three books
nsubj(var, kitap)
Benim üç kitabım var . \n I have three books
nsubj(var, kitabım)

Although we currently mark the head of the verbal nouns as nouns, we use csubj when they are in the subject position.
