nsubj: nominal subject

A nominal subject is a NP which is the syntactic subject of a clause; in Russian, the phrase is in the Nominative Case. (See csubj for when the subject is clausal. See nsubjpass and csubjpass for when the subject is not the proto-agent argument due to valence changing operations.) The governor of the nsubj relation might not always be a verb: when the verb is a copular verb, the root of the clause is the complement of the copular verb, which can be an adjective or noun.

4955 nodes (5%) are attached to their parents as nsubj.

3981 instances of nsubj (80%) are right-to-left (child precedes parent). Average distance between parent and child is 3.15418768920283.
