[Lingtyp] predicative possession

[Peter Bakker]

Hi Sergey,

Only a quarter, roughly, of the languages of the world have a verb "to have".
WALS 117a is a good place to start:

Dear colleagues,

could you please advise me literature on the encoding of the notion HAVE/HAVING in the languages that, unlike English, do not have generally applicable and versatile HAVE-verbs? I am interested in the grammaticalization paths in this semantic domain.  (I suspect people call this field “predicative possession.”)

Best wishes,

 Sergey
