Verbal Behavior: Extended Edition. Chapter 13: Grammar and Syntax as Autoclitic Processes. Quote 5

Something less than full-fledged relational autoclitic behavior is involved when partially conditioned autoclitic “frames” combine with responses appropriate to a specific situation. Having responded to many pairs of objects with behavior such as the hat and the shoe and the gun and the hat, the speaker may make the response the boy and the bicycle on a novel occasion. If he has acquired a series of responses such as the boy’s gun, the boy’s shoe, and the boy’s hat, we may suppose that the partial frame the boy’s______ is available for recombination with other responses.
