Definition

a non-anchoring construction that has a mensural term as the object - modifier and a (semantic) head - referent that is only type identifiable. Example: a piece of cake is a mensural construction in that the object modifier denotes only the type 'cake'. Two strategies for mensural constructions are mensural classifiers and the pseudo-partitive. (Section 5.2.2)
