NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Postnominal (400 words) |
 | 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. |
