Characteristics

• The csubj tag is typically used to parse the predicate of a clause that functions as an main subject within the sentence.
• The csubj tag doesn’t always need a JKS (Postposition_nominative, 주격 조사) such as ‘이/가’. If a clause functions as the subject of the sentence, it is parsed as a csubj, even if there is no subject marker.
