The chapter begins with a brief overview of research on the of-binominal, in general, before focusing on the constructions addressed in this study. It presents the constructions discussed in this work: prototypical N+PP, head-classifier, pseudo-partitive, evaluative binominal noun phrase, evaluative modifier, and binominal intensifier, and the research gap that the monograph fills. Furthermore, it briefly introduces the two theories used: Construction Grammar (CxG) and Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG) and presents the rationale behind examining the results from two theoretical paradigms. This chapter, furthermore, explains the choice of corpora used in the research (primarily the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) and the Corpus of Historical American English (COHA) and details the construction of the dataset: those constructions included and excluded from the data set.
