Subjective/Objective/Generic/Specific


°In a subjective genitive: N1 is the AGENT of the verbal idea in N2

°In an objective genitive: N1 is the OBJECT of the verbal idea in N2


Ambiguity: when the sentence doesn't clearly show if N1 is agent or object: "trump's recording" => The recording that Trump has made or Trump has been recorded? 


°A genitive is specific when: it determines N1 and builds reference of N2, it belongs to the determination slot

°A genitive is generic when: it qualifies a noun and refers to a whole et, it belongs to pre modification slot


Ambiguity: when the sentence does't clearly show the determiner/pre-modification part and we need more information to figure it out: "these pretty women's gloves": gloves for women ? or gloves that belong to those women ? 

A retenir :

When you analyse a type of genitive: describe the type of noun, the structure of the noun phrase, and the type of genitive, then justify with definitions and illustrate with examples if possible.
