pronoun objects vs. possessives

[Peggy Blake]

I've run into this issue a couple times, where what I consider to be a possessive pronoun is coded as a pronoun object. Am I incorrect?

27    *PAR:           so fairy_godmother xxx gave her a ride in [/] in her gown to go to

28           the ball (0.7) .

29    %mor:          conj:coo|so n|fairy_godmother v|give-PAST pro:obj|her det:art|a

30           v|ride prep|in prep|in pro:obj[MB1] |her n|gown prep|to v|go prep|to

31           det:art|the n|ball .

 [MB1]Should this be det:poss since  "her" indicates possession of the gown?

Dear Peggy,

   Perhaps you are using an older version of the ENG MOR grammar.  I ran that sentence now with the current version and the result seems right:

*PAR: so fairy godmother xxx gave her a ride in [/] in her gown to
go to the ball (0.7) .
%mor: co|so n|fairy n|+n|god+n|mother v|give&PAST pro:obj|her det:art|a
n|ride prep|in det:poss|her n|gown inf|to v|go prep|to det:art|the
n|ball .
