Note Sept 2000: If it turns out to be desirable to set up a separate box for Ling 830, we
certainly can. In the meantime, the NSF Project Box = the Ling 830 (fall 2000) Box.
Papers particularly important for Ling 830 are (or will be in later editions) boldfaced.
Note 2: Some articles are listed here only because they show up in bibliography of one of
BHP and VB’s articles on genitives/possessives; their relevance in that case may be
somewhat indirect.

This list started out as the Reading List for Ling 830: Seminar on Syntax and Semantics of
Genitives/Possessives . This work is supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. BCS9905748 to Barbara H. Partee, "Integration of Lexical and Compositional Semantics: Genitives in English
and Russian". Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are
those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation. Thanks
to Ji-Yung Kim and Ana Arregui for help in compiling and annotating this list. Additions have come from
Peggy Speas and from various colleagues and students in Amherst and Moscow and elsewhere. The list is
still incomplete (and probably always will be); further additions are solicited.
