In the sentence "The man is my uncle," the noun phrase "my uncle" follows the linking verb "is" and provides more information about the subject "the man." This type of construction, where a noun or adjective follows a linking verb and renames or describes the subject, is known as a subject complement. Therefore, "my uncle" functions as a subject complement in the sentence.
