These are usually remnants of cases, in this instance, the genitive case which is still used in German. genitive constructions in noun phrases, such as the man's dog Linguistics: grammatical terms ablative apposition appositive appositively attributively collocate concord dative declension feminine indirect object inflected nominal plural plurally post-modifier postposition postpositional postpositive syntax Examples of genitivegenitive Such adnominal genitives had the determinative function and tended to be preposed. Therefore, a noun phrase containing its head noun plus a postnominal genitive nominal in fact consisted of two noun phrases. These determiner genitives easily vary with corresponding noun modifiers in contexts where the whole construction is definite and specific. A genitive nominal, on the other hand, signals that the designated thing is not there as a participant of the event in question. But it is only by rejecting the possibly left-dislocated examples that we can tell a coherent story about agreement of the separated genitive. The separated genitive becomes much more common at the end of the fourteenth century than it was earlier, and it is not restricted in register. The genitive case has three different markers, each restricted to a different subset of nouns, in both the singular and the plural. Even more surprising is the fact acquisition of the genitive singular is virtually errorless. Table 5 displays how thematicity of the possessor dovetails with genitive variation. From this perspective, the use of the genitive marker is unusually high in this particular text. If the subject refers to an inanimate entity affecting a human direct object, the genitive is obligatory for the direct object. Most significant is the fact that, as with the dative and genitive constructions, these nominative objects appear (discourse-neutrally) only in preverbal position. The to-infinitive was not nominal because it assigned accusative (never genitive) case to its complements (250). If the nominalization's verb is neither intransitive nor is the nominalization passive, then the genitive could correspond to either the subject or object. As a further similar case, consider next the complementation of verbs which normally require their complement to appear in the genitive. These examples are from corpora and from sources on the web.
