GROUP POSSESSIVE
GROUP POSSESSIVE, also group genitive. Terms for those occasions when the possessive APOSTROPHE ('s) is added to a phrase rather than to the noun to which it logically relates: The King of Thailand's visit (not *The King's of Thailand visit) or the girl next door's bicycle. See POSSESSION, SAXON GENITIVE.
