	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Postnominal
		For the purposes of the study, the terms "possessive construction", "possessor" and "possessee" were adopted for all constructions with the Saxon-genitive phrase (English), the possessive adjective (Slovene) or their postnominal counterparts (the of-phrase and the genitive phrase respectively) as modifiers, regardless of the semantic relation involved.
		For each text, the first 100 examples of the prenominal possessive construction and the first 50 examples of the postnominal one (a smaller amount of empirical data was needed here because the analysis focused on the use of the possessive adjective) were extracted.
		Besides, 200 examples of the prenominal construction and 100 examples of the postnominal one were taken from national newspapers and periodicals.

	ALS98 PAPERS - Cynthia L. Allen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The loss of the postnominal genitive was indeed ultimately triggered by the loss of agreement within the noun phrase, but the facts suggest that the postnominal genitive was lost in two stages, as one type of postnominal genitive disappears before the other does.
		There is certainly a correlation between the retention of the postnominal genitive and the retention of agreement within the NP; in those dialects in which agreement is retained the longest, the posthead genitive generally remains the longest.
		The second point to be made is that the loss of the structurally marked postnominal genitive seems to have begun fairly early in OE before agreement had begun to decay seriously, as there is a steady reduction in the frequency of the postnominal genitive already in OE, as Thomas demonstrated.

	ENRIQUE MALLEN Enrique Mallen <e-mallen@neo
		When an adjective appears both pre- and postnominally, the position of the adjective disambiguates meaning.
		In these cases, a change in interpretation occurs: prenominally, the adjective conveys a sense of customariness; postnominally, a sense of temporariness.
		The distribution of a certain adjective also affects its acceptability in predicative contexts: an adjective that may appear postnominally may be interpreted predicatively; while an adjective that is restricted to prenominal position is generally banned from predicative contexts.

	THE USE OF POSSESSIVE CONSTRUCTIONS IN ENGLISH AND SLOVENE
		The study was based on a cognitive approach, according to which the possessor functions as a reference point facilitating the identification of the possessee.
		The aim of this paper is to present the findings of my recent study[1] of possessive constructions in English and Slovene, the primary objective of which was to pinpoint the main factor(s) governing the choice between prenominal and postnominal possessors, and to establish the degree of overlap between the two languages in this respect.
		At first sight it seems that in the case of Slovene constructions this factor is overridden by the complexity and the grammatical number of the possessor; in addition, a possessive adjective cannot be derived from any semantic class of noun.

		However, due to the restrictions on stage-level/individual-level distinction of predicates and on postnominal modification, both of these structures are not always permitted.
		If the embedded predicates in (1) and (3) were postnominal modifiers, a distinction between a prenominal modifier and a postnominal modifier would have to be made in order to account for the stage-level/individual-level distinction of predicates observed in (1) and (3).
		In constructing the phrase structure in a bottom-up fashion, a post-copula NP and a predicate are “merged”, and which of the nodes is projected to the next node depends on the restrictions on postnominal modifiers and the stage-level/individual-level distinction of predicates.

		Regarding the order of postnominal elements, I was mainly interested in sequences of two or more postnominal NPs.
		Across Slavic, postnominal NPs can bear any of the three cases: genitive, dative and instrumental, with genitive case beeing the 'default' case.
		The second instance where two postnominal genitives co-occur in Slavic is with 'material' nouns (Gilbert Rappaport's 1998 term), such as the Serbo-Croatian noun zbirka 'collection'.

		a not so obv ous empirical assumption, namely that all possessives (except, possibly, those bearing a possessor role), even in postnominal position, are necessar ly related to a trace, so that the generalization embodied in (25)a-e can be captured by reformulating (31)...
		Fischer, for example, argues that Old English strong adjectives, being associated with indefiniteness and "new" information, were common in postnominal position; weak adjectives, in contrast, implied definiteness and "given" information and hence normally occurred prenominally.
		But it is not true that the appositive in the postnominal position always bears a thematic role to the head.

	Covert Clause Structure in the Miskitu Noun Phrase (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Rather than propose a specific theory to account directly for the complexity of this postnominal system, I show that by taking into consideration a few independent properties of Miskitu syntax, we are led to the conclusion that even ordinary-looking noun phrases are structurally ambiguous, and may contain covert relative clause structure.
		The problem is this: in section we accounted for the restriction def by noting that all inner determiners in a sequence are in predicate position, where def is independently not allowed.
		The problem of the paper, in brief terms, is how to fit all the postnominal material in a the Miskitu noun phrase into any constrained theory of phrase structure.

		It is shown that demonstratives are generated in a position below functional projections that host the different classes of adjectives and immediately superior to the projection whose specifier is occupied by the postnominal possessive.
		Furthermore, it is shown that the demonstrative fulfills the same function regardless of its appearance in the prenominal or postnominal position: in both cases it provides a referential interpretation.
		Thus, the observed cross-linguistic variation with respect to word order is explained in terms of feature strength and not the differences in underlying functional architecture.

	The syntax of noun phrases (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		For instance, a general feature of many dialects (from Iceland to Northern Finland) is that they allow both pre- and postnominal possessive pronouns.
		As illustrated in (1) the noun has no definite article with a prenominal possessive pronoun, whereas a suffixed definite article is obligatory with a postnominal article.
		In other dialects, such as Faroese, the noun may lack the suffixed article when the possessive pronoun is postnominal, and in yet other dialects this is possible (or obligatory) only with certain nouns, mainly kinship nouns like mother or friend.

	Adjectives
		Note that English adjective phrases can occur postnominally when they are 'heavy' enough, and even relatively short adjectives are sometimes used postnominally to convey elegance or high style.
		The postnominal use of adjective phrases should not be confused with their predicative use, illustrated in (8).
		The word order variation illustrated in (3) and (5) and the stylistic connotations of the postnominal order are thus the result of language contact.

		We have already observed in (9) that the contrast between stage-level and individual-level predicates is absent when a predicate appears within NP.
		This is the structure proposed in Williams 1984.
		This paper has shown that in principle, there are two possible structures for there-sentences, namely the SC structure argued for in Stowell 1978, Safir 1989, and Stowell 1992, 1993, and Milsark's (1974) ontological existential.

		Most of the attributive adjectives in French occur in a postnominal position.
		Some adjectives are found in a prenominal position when they are quantificational, focused or short (weak) forms.
		We will also take adjective ordering into consideration following a specifier-based analysis of adjective positioning (Cinque 1994): co-occurring adjectives are merged as the specifiers of their corresponding semantic category in accordance with a strict hierarchy of DP-internal functional projections.
