Syntactic function nab.t:post-N
an abstract transitive noun in construction with a preceding nominal expression
One could evidently treat these cases as plain npost-N. But this category is a reminder that the transitivity of deverbal abstract nouns needs a more systematic exploration than it has received so far in TLS. Abstract transitive action nouns with specified subject are common and need to be collected systematically.
