不変化詞

-s’

1. Plural possessive marker (applied to words which form the 複数形 by adding -s), indicating than an object belongs to the plural noun phrase bearing the marker. (See also es'.)

   Chris’s heart leapt when she saw the expressions on her teachers’ faces. (the teacher + s’)

   their faces’ expressions (face + s’)

使用する際の注意点

• Use of the plural possessive marker -s’ is to be distinguished from use of the possessive marker -' on nouns that terminate in -s (see -' for more) and from the possessive marker -'s (which also see). Whether they are pronounced identically or differently varies between idiolects. The BBC prescribes the following distinction:^[1] (a) Dickens novel and Dickens’ novel /dɪkɪnz nɒvəl/, Dickens’s novel /dɪkɪnzɪz nɒvəl/; princess’s and princesses’ /pɹɪn.sɛs.ɪz/; i.e. adding bare ’ or -(e)s’ does not change pronunciation. Some speakers, however, may pronounce one or both as /ɪz/, i.e. Dickens’ as /ˈdɪkɪnzɪz/, princesses’ as /pɹɪn.sɛs.ɪs.ɪz/, and e.g. boys’ as /bɔɪzɪz/ (instead of the more common /bɔɪz/).

使用する際の注意点

The long, medial, or descending s, as distinct from the short or terminal s. In Roman script, the long S was used everywhere except at the end of words, where the short S was used, and frequently in what is now the digraph <ss>, which was often written <ſs> rather than <ſſ>. The distinction occurred only in minuscule (lowercase); a single majuscule (uppercase) form, S, was used regardless of word-position. In Fraktur script, the long S is used at the beginning of a word as well, as long as the word is not capitalized.
