composition of generic possessives
based on the analysis for regular possessives.
example: butcher's knife
structure: [[butcher's][knife]
the structural difference between regular and generic possessives is in the categories. as argued in munn 1995, strauss 2005, and elsewhere, regular possessives are DPs and their possessors are in Spec-DP, while generic possessives are subphrases of DP, perhaps NPs.
