nsubj:caus: causative nominal subject

The nsubj:caus relation links the infinitive verb (i.e. the head of the sentence) to the syntactical subject of the sentence (i.e. the causer) in a causative construction. The infinitive verb governs the causative verb with an aux:caus relation. The true agent of the action described by the sentence is annotated with an iobj:agent, an obj:agent or an obl:agent relation.
