Abstract
Saxon Genitive can be considered a specific syntactical case of nominal phrases that include possession which in other languages is, in fact, understood as ‘rara avis’ as in Romance which exhibits the use of preposition “of” which is responsible for the possessive case. Certainly, the English structure is intricate, and it has been examined throughout the recent centuries until today’s status. Although, it is not broadly comparable to the Spanish, some similarities can be found in comparison with the postnominal genitive frame. Nonetheless, just because of obvious dissimilarities, Spanish learners of L2 language may find it difficult to learn Saxon Genitive when studying and internalizing L2 English.
