[Lingtyp] predicative possession

[ARNOLD Laura]

Dear Sergey,

What Françoise describes for Maweti-Guarani languages is also common in South Halmahera-West New Guinea (Austronesian) languages: predicative possessive constructions that are either identical with or derived from their adnominal counterparts are found in Ambel, As, Batta, Biga, Ma'ya, Salawati, Taba, Wamesa, Wooi, and Dusner. Similar constructions are found in the nearby non-Austronesian East Bird's Head languages Meyah and Moskona, as well as the North Halmahera language Tidore. I can send you references for these, if that's helpful.

All the best,
Laura

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
