[Lingtyp] predicative possession

[Françoise Rose]

Dear Serguey,
Maweti-Guarani languages express predicative possession without a verb or a copula. The nominal predicate has the same morphological structure than a possessed NP.
There are various syntactic analyses of this possessive predicative construction. Here are a few references.

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
