Summary/Abstract: The article reviews the expression of possessors with nouns referring to entities that may satisfy the requirements of frame elements which are part of the semantic frames in FrameNet. The frame elements realised with the main verbs for transfer of possession in a limited number of corpus examples are considered. Apart from the frame element (referring to the object of the transfer) and the two entities between which/whom the transfer of possession takes place, non-core frame elements are also explicitly realised. The sets of appropriate nouns and their features are defined based on the realisation of the frame elements in the corpus examples.
