Bibliography on possessives and related problems

 

I was working on this bibliography in 2000-2002, and a version of it could be found on some website of mine which disappeared long ago. In fact, now I even cannot find the last version of the bibliography. If it is of any use for you, you are welcome!

 

The references have not been checked. Hopefully, those marked as 'to appear' or 'in press' or 'forthc.' were published years ago.
