Abstract:
The analysis of constructions denoting possession (particularly, but not
exclusively, in English) has long presented a challenge to morpho-syntactic
theory and has been a topic of debate for some time. The papers presented here
afford thought-provoking insights into the morphosyntactic nature of
possessive markers under a variety of theoretical frameworks. The distribution
of phrases expressing possession is explored in a range of languages
(including English, Swedish, Urdu and West Flemish), with rigorous
exploitation of corpus data and careful statistical analysis. Descriptions and
analyses represent the state of the art in research into possessive
constructions. Particular attention is paid to the English possessive ’s, both
synchronically and diachronically. This volume is essential for scholars
interested in theoretical and corpus-based linguistics, morphosyntactic
constructions, and the expression of possession.
