Transitivization

Abstract
In the preceding chapters we have discussed various processes of reanalysis that predicative possessive constructions may undergo. Thus, the process of adnominalization may in some cases lead to a rearrangement of the constituent structure of an erstwhile Locational Possessive or Topic Possessive. The process of predicativization changes the category status of the possessee phrase in a With-Possessive or a Topic Possessive, and, in its slipstream, it changes the syntactic structure of the construction as well.
