typifying construction (cxn)
a.k.a. typifying (nominal modification) construction,non-anchoring (nominal modification) construction
a nominal modification construction that is not an anchoring construction, in that the object modifier is only type identifiable, the modifier--head combination refers to a subclass of a broader class, and the head cannot be identified via its relation to the modifier. Example: women's magazine is an instance of a typifying construction: women does not refer to a specific set of women; the phrase as a whole denotes a particular subclass of magazines; and the referent of magazine cannot be identified by the modifier women's.
