Meeting Description: 

A workshop on possessives, in particular as they relate to terms such as 'affix'
and 'clitic', organized as part of an AHRC-funded project on Germanic possessives. 

Morpho-syntactic Categories and the Expression of Possession

3-4 April 2009

The University of Manchester, Chancellors Conference Centre

A workshop forming part of the AHRC-funded project Germanic possessive -s: an
empirical, historical and theoretical study will take place at the University of
Manchester on 3-4 April 2009. The focus of the workshop will be the nature of
possessive expressions in Germanic and other languages. Issues that will be
considered include the interaction with morpho-syntactic categories such as
'affix' and 'clitic', the range of variation in the expressions of possession
and the factors which determine the choice of variant.
