personal name

a word or compound nominal form that felicitously refers to some particular human being, ¶11-3-1; a p. n. is said to have a possessive form, ¶14-1-2, but this arguably belongs to the superordinate nominal or noun phrase; a pro temp. analysis of the p. n. make it a proper noun phrase when it appears with a prepositive title like Mr., or with a postpositive title like Jr. and a personal name phrase when composed of multiple given name and/or surname parts
