Abstract:

This volume is a collection of articles dealing with the linguistic category
of possession and its expression in languages spoken in Europe and North and
Central Asia (Uralic, Turkic, Indo-European and Caucasian), with a few
excursions into other parts of the world. Some papers engage in typological
comparisons, both within and beyond the borders of individual language
families focusing on issues of motivation; meaning and forms used in
expressing possession; typology of belong constructions; marking possession in
possessor chains; non-canonical possessives and their relation to the category
of familiarity; metaphoric shifts of possessive semantics. Others focus on
possession in individual languages, offering new precious pieces of
information on the linguistic expression of possession in lesser known
languages, some of which are endangered and even unwritten. The volume will be
of interest to both general linguists and typologists as well as to
experts/students of the individual languages or language families analyzed in
the papers.
