Possessive phrase. This is a noun phrase expressing ownership of another object.

Note that all possessive phrases that can possibly be ambiguous must define getOrigMainText() to return the “main noun phrase” text. In English, this means that we must omit any “‘s” suffix. This is needed only when the phrase can be ambiguous, so pronouns don’t need it since they are inherently unambiguous.
