SAXON GENITIVE. A term for the forms of the possessive associated with the
APOSTROPHE (
boy's,
boys'), so called because, along with the plural ending, they are the only noun inflections surviving from Old English or Anglo-Saxon. This genitive is often described as a case form, but as it can be attached to phrases (
The King of Thailand's visit;
somebody else's seat), some grammarians argue against this view. The same meaning when expressed by an
of-phrase is sometimes called the
of-genitive:
the top of the hill. The Saxon genitive can be used alone with a place reference:
See you at Tom's;
I got it at the grocer's this morning. Other usages include the
subjective genitive (
the man's statement, where the man made the statement); the
objective genitive (
the group's leader, where someone leads the group); and the
descriptive genitive (
a moment's thought,
a ladies' hairdresser,
ship's biscuits,
Parkinson's disease), which shares some features with attribution and compound words. See
GENITIVE CASE,
POSSESSION.
