Abstract
Abstract. This paper proposes elaboration of the Generative Lexicon (GL) in Pustejovsky (1995) and the Extended Generative Lexicon theory (Lenci et al., 2000). My proposal is based on the Japanese genitive postposition no 1. The Japanese NP1-no NP2 “NP1-GEN NP2” construction expresses a wider range of relations between two entities than the English possessive NP1’s NP2, such that neither selective binding (Pustejovsky, 1995) nor type-shifting based on qualia roles in NP2 (Vikner and Jensen, 2002) captures the necessary relations— time, location, manner, and others of temporary nature. The disambiguation of possessive relations requires that lexical entries be augmented by incorporating a Referential Module comprising subcategories such as LOCATION, TIME, and MANNER.
