Dear Sergey,

here are some references for nominal clauses:

A topic different from this one are clauses which are missing their 
verb. This is treated for Latin in

Carvalho, Paulo de 1978, "Syntaxe et sémantique: verbe et phrase en 
latin." /Revue des Études Anciennes/ 80:239-247.

and for Russian in

Wiemer, Björn 1996, "Klassifikacija nulevyx skazujemyx v russkom jazyke 
po ix leksičeskim i referencial'nym xarakteristikam." /Studia z 
Filologii Polskiej i Słowańskiej/ 33:245-273.

Best,

Christian
