Noun phrase (NP)

NP-SBJ

Most nominative NPs are NP-SBJ, except some direct objects (NP-OB1) of dative subject verbs.

Oblique subjects

All oblique NPs that are subjects in Modern Icelandic are annotated as subjects regardless of when the text is written even if this may or may not be the right analysis for all centuries.

Dative subject verbs

• (NP-SBJ Mér) finnst rigningin góð.
• (NP-SBJ Mér) líkar rigningin.
• (NP-SBJ Mér) líkar rigninguna.

Dative experiencer subjects with copular verbs

• (NP-SBJ Mér) er kalt
• (NP-SBJ Mér) er sama
• (NP-SBJ Mér) verður

Ambiguous DAT-NOM constructions

In DAT-NOM constructions where it is ambiguous whether the DAT NP or the NOM NP is the subject, the DAT NP is tagged as subject. Those who want to use IcePaHC to study oblique subjects have to study the relevant examples.

• (NP-SBJ Mér) þóknaðist tilboðið.

Dative subject + Small clause

• (NP-SBJ Þér) er (IP-SMC heimil ólin)
• (NP-SBJ Antoni) er (IP-SMC setningin erfið)
• (NP-SBJ Þér) er (IP-SMC hart að bakspyrna í mót broddunum)
