Preferred term

possessive pronoun  

Broader concept

Example

  • In German a possessive pronoun must only agree in person with its antecedent. (Klenner & Ailloud, 2009)
  • Instead a common pattern in Flemish Dutch (in features 2 4 6 and 7) is using possessive pronouns after proper nouns whereas Netherlandic Dutch tends to use a possessive 's' in such cases. (Kreutz & Daelemans, 2018)
  • In the sentence "Tom kissed his mother" the possessive pronoun could refer to a third party but by far the most likely interpretation is that Tom's mother is kissed by Tom and that reading should be reflected in the annotation. (Abzianidze & Bos, 2019)
