Abstract
Whether the possessive topic is established or not has achieved fruitful results from the perspective of generative grammar, in which semantic intersection and “most likely interpretation items” are operable, but due to the characteristics of generative grammar, there are still some phenomena that can not be well explained. From the perspective of function, this paper adopts the top-down method of focus test to explain some controversial topic structures. At the same time, this paper holds that the possessory structure is regarded as a prototype category, and the continuity of the possessory relationship is an important condition for the establishment of the possessive topic structure
