29.2. The partitive genitive construction and its constituents

This section examines the partitive genitive construction in more detail. Section 29.2.1 begins with a discussion of some characteristics of the construction as a whole. It will turn out that the partitive genitive construction can be used in more or less the same environments as the nominal part of the construction, showing that it is this part that acts as the syntactic head of the construction; cf. the omission test.
