ABSTRACT
This chapter will discuss nominal °projections that contain two nouns without it being obvious which of the two nouns is the °head of the construction. Section 17.1 will discuss noun phrases of the type een paar boeken ‘a couple of books’, in which two nouns can be adjacent, without an intervening preposition. Section 17.2 will discuss binominal constructions that do require the presence of a preposition, such as the N of a N construction een schat van een kind ‘a treasure of a child’, in which the preposition van obligatorily intervenes between the two noun phrases.
