Abstract:

This volume, the fifth in the series Case and Grammatical Relations across
Languages, is devoted to genitive constructions in a range of Indo-European
languages (Russian, French, Romanian, German and Swedish), as well as Finnish,
Bantu languages and Northern Akhvakh (Northeast Caucasian). Definitions of
genitives typically start out from the notion of an inflectional marker, often
suffixal, that marks dependency relations of a noun phrase with respect to
another noun phrase and conveys possessive meaning. The contributions in this
volume demonstrate a huge range of variation in genitives, semantically (from
possessive meaning to generalized dependency), morphologically (from affixes
to different types of clitics) and syntactically (from adnominal uses to
argument relations and adjunct uses). The volume contains both general surveys
of genitives and case studies of the semantics, pragmatics and historical
development of specific genitive constructions. It will be of interest to
scholars and students in syntax, semantics, morphology, typology, and
historical linguistics.
