Described and located subjects

Some subjects are simply being charaterised or described by the informatoin in the predicate. These subjects always cooccur with copulas, verbs that have little independent meaning but related the information in the predicate back to the subject.

Michael is tall

Marty seems pleasant.

Samson is in his doghouse. 

Tomi is on the porch.
