| Sumario: | In this paper we propose that some nominal structures involve rising of a possessive pronoun from a lower, defective nominal domain to a structure headed by a noun with which they do not hold any direct semantic relation. The conditions under which this operation can take place are explored. It can only happen when the lower domain is severely impoverished; it is introduced by a weak preposition that does not define a phase and when the PP is selected by the head noun as its complement. |
