Subject:  "N de NP" constructions in Romance

I'm looking for references on "N de NP" constructions
in Romance, in particular of the sorts that have been
referred to as "appositive", where the prepositional object
NP serves the referential function, while the upper N
predicates something of it.

I'm specially interested in valorative or insulting
constructions like the ones I give below, agreement
patterns that airse, and the distribution
of modifiers/determiners between the two Ns.
However, information on other kinds of issues with
this constructions, or on similar constructions
(e.g. partitives) is welcome.  I will collect the
references I receive and make them available upon request.

I have already found some detailed literature on the French
constructions, both for European and Quebec French, and a
few mentions of the issue in Spanish, which I list below. I
would appreciate references to studies of these in other
Romance varieties, specially Spanish and Portuguese.

Spanish examples
(1) a. la mierda (belleza/delicia) de libro
    b. el pendejo de tu hermano

(2) a. el pueblo de Río Piedras
    b. el día de ayer
    c. el mes de mayo

Quebec French examples
(3) a. ce crisse (d'osti de câlice ...) de livre
    b. cette crisse de porte

(4) a. la ville de Montréal

Dear linguist,

I have spent many times to search for articles on citation or
referring to others'works, but I have not found anything yet. All the
articles I have found are not carried by our liabraries here. Does
anyone know of any resources that would be avaiable on the internet?


Best Regards,
Hanan
