This paper deals with the meanings of English possessive genitives based on a prototype-theoretic approach combined with a semantic constraint implemented here in the form of a schema. Prototype theory can account for the subtle, gradient differences in accessibility among the various readings of the possessive genitive construction, while a schema is better suited to capturing a variety of marked contrasts in acceptability among possessive data. The schema proves to be powerful in accounting for cases which interact with contextualization. This suggests that the correct analysis of the meanings of possessive genitives becomes possible in terms of the combination of both the prototype-theoretic analysis and the schema-based approach.
