nsubj:periph: postposed subject

The default word order in Cantonese is SVO, that is, the subject normally precedes and the object follows the verb. Other word orders, like VOS, are communicatively marked. We use the nsubj:periph subtype of the nsubj relation for subjects that follow the object.

“You are so annoying!”
