The nominal counterpart of this relation is nsubj:outer.
The :outer subtype is not intended for most clausal subjects of copular clauses—only those where the predicate is itself a clause.
Plain csubj (or another subtype) will be appropriate if the copular clause predicate is a nominal, adjective, etc.:
Очень важно , чтобы ваши ученики уважали вас . \n It is very important that your students respect you .
csubj(важно, уважали)
nsubj(уважали, ученики)
expl(important, It)
csubj(important, respect)
nsubj(respect, students)
