nsubj: nominal subject
A nominal subject is a nominal phrase which is the syntactic subject of a clause; in Ukrainian, the phrase is in the nominative Case. (See csubj for when the subject is clausal. See nsubjpass and csubjpass for when the subject is not the proto-agent argument due to valence changing operations.) The governor of the nsubj 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. Copular verbs in the present tense are in most cases omitted in Ukrainian.
