A new book from John Benjamins Publishing:
Dimensions of Possession
Irene BARON, Michael HERSLUND and Finn SØRENSEN (Copenhagen Business
School) (eds.)
Typological Studies in Language 47
2001. vi, 337 pp. Hardcover

Few linguistic concepts are more elusive than 'possession'. The
present collection of articles, selected from an international
workshop held in Copenhagen in May 1998, confronts the subject from
several angles (lexicon; the semantics of possession and the verb
HAVE; the syntax of genitives and other possessive structures; the
interaction of verbal and nominal constructions; the semantic and
textual implications of the alienable/inalienable distinction, etc.)
and approaches (formal semantics; functional semantics; and syntax as
diachronic and typological comparisons). The languages covered include
both European languages such as Danish, French, Russian, Spanish,
Portuguese and Latin, and several American, Australian, African and
Asian languages. This volume in which the contributing scholars have
sought to examine as many 'dimensions' as possible is of interest to
all linguists, in particular those working in the field of typology
and functional approaches to language.
