The question is asking to states the meaning of the dependency reversal and base on my research, it is used to refer to possessive like attributive constructions, with the attribute surfacing as the formal head and the semantic head surfacing as the formal professor.

Step-by-step explanation:

The term "dependency repeal in noun-attributive constructions" (DNRA) is used to apply to possessive-like attributive systems (of the type (that) idiot of a doctor), with the quality surfacing as the regular head and the grammatical head surfacing as the formal holder. The body of the study presents a conference of DNRA constructions as attested in six distinct styles.
