[Lingtyp] predicative possession

[Claude Hagège]

Dear all,

 

Predicative possession is studied in detail on pp. 49-50 of C. Hagège’s La structure des langues, 7th  ed., 2013. Among many others, the « type structured like “Your book exists” for ‘You have a book’ » (Randy La Polla) is illustrated there by Kečua and Aymara. Besides the type illustrated by many Pama-Nyungan (Australian) languages, i.e.  « Possessor is Possessed-ed(adjective-like suffix) »  or   « Possessor is Possessed-having », we also have a type structured like « Possessor his/her/its-Possessed », which is the structure we find in Guarani.

 

Best wishes

 

Claude

Dear Sergey,

on top of the references that have already been suggested, I would like to point out a recent paper by Denis Creissels, recently published on the "Italian J. of Linguistics":

http://www.italian-journal-linguistics.com

Incidentally, the same issue contains other works that should awake the typologist's interest.

Best regards

Pier Marco Bertinetto

Dear colleagues,

could you please advise me literature on the encoding of the notion HAVE/HAVING in the languages that, unlike English, do not have generally applicable and versatile HAVE-verbs? I am interested in the grammaticalization paths in this semantic domain.  (I suspect people call this field “predicative possession.”)

Best wishes,

 Sergey
