The possessive cannot be accompanied by any modifiers or determiners, except for the ‘emphatic determinative own’. Just as the emphatic reflexive pronoun intensifies the meaning of a personal pronoun, so own intensifies the meaning of a personal pronoun. For example, my own carries the force of ‘mine and nobody else’s in:
>>>This book doesn’t belong to the library – it’s my own copy.
Elsewhere own emphasizes coreference between the possessive and the subject of the clause:
>>>Sam cooks his own dinner every evening. [‘cooks dinner for himself’]
But whereas the reflexive pronoun is often obligatory where coreference with the subject is intended, the addition of own to the possessive is optional. Thus, in [1], his could corefer to Sam, but it could also refer to someone quite different:
>>>[1] Sam cooks his dinner every evening.
Similarly, [2] is ambiguous according to whether their corefers to the Housing Associations or to people:
>>>[2] The Housing Associations are encouraging people to buy their houses.
But only the second interpretation, the ‘reflexive’ one, is possible with:
>>>The Housing Associations are encouraging people to buy their own houses.
