nsubj: nominal subject

A nominal subject is a noun phrase which is the syntactic subject of a clause and which controls the verb contained within the clause.

Examples

Rachaidh sí abhaile \n Will_go she home

In a copula construction, the nsubj is dependent on the predicate (in this case the noun réitigh ‘solution’).

Is réitigh sealadacha iadThey are temporary solutions’

Is réitigh sealadacha iad \n Is temporary solutions they
