csubj:cop
: relative clause modifier
A clausal copular subject (csubj:cop
) is a UD Irish subtype, used to label a clause that acts as the
subject of another (copular) clause. As in all copular clauses, the
predicate acts as the head of the clause and hence it is also the
governor of the copular subject. The copular construction may consist of a copula followed by a verb particle or an adjective or it may be emphatic in terms of meaning (in which case the noun is raised for emphasis), as outlined in the examples below.
Example
Verbal
Ba ghearr gur fhás drochiontaoibh Kitchener `It didn’t take long for Kitchener’s distrust to grow’
Is dócha go raibh an ceart aici `It is likely that she was correct’
Adjectival
Is fíor gur láidre Fianna Fáil ag cosaint na neodrachta ná Fine Gael faoi láthair `It is true that Fianna Fáil are better at protecting neutrality than Fine Gael at the moment’
Nominal
Ní féidir leat iachall a chur orm é a dhéanamh. `You can’t make me do it.’
