style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman',serif">have you ever
read/thought about reinterpreting “inalienable possession” (within noun phrases)
in terms of nominal valency? I.e., certain semantic kinds of nouns display
valency slots that have to be filled by all means (e.g., a kinship role ‘[one’s]
son’, an action noun ‘[one’s] crossing [of something]’), and these core
arguments are encoded differently from non-obligatory arguments. In zero
approximation, an English example would be ‘Jacob’s son’ as against ‘the son of
his old age.’ Akkadian is a language that is keen on morphologically opposing
core and non-core arguments in its noun phrases.</SPAN></P>
