possessive modification construction (cxn)
a.k.a. possessive (modification) construction,attributive possession construction
the nominal modifier construction that expresses a possession relation such that the possessor is the modifier and the possessum is the head (i.e. is the referent expression). Example: Sally's calendar is an instance of possession -- the calendar could be one that she owns, one that she gave me, one that she is holding in a photo of people with calendars, one that she designed or made, one with photos of her, and so on. Many languages have two morphosyntactically distinct possessive modification constructions, an alienable possession construction and an inalienable possession construction (or constructions).
