Approaches to Predicative Possession: The View from Slavic and Finno-Ugric by Dr

Description: Approaches to Predicative Possession by Dr Jacek Witkos, Piotr Ceglowski, Dr Gréte Dalmi Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This book discusses existential and possessive constructions in two important, yet under-studied, language families, Slavic and Finno-Ugric. Using data from the Slavic languages of Polish, Belarusian and Russian, and the Finno-Ugric languages of Finnish, Hungarian, Meadow Mari, Komi-Permiyak and Udmurt, as well as the closely related Selkup of the Samoyedic family, the chapters in this volume analyse predicative possession in current syntactic terms.Seeking an answer to the theoretical question of whether BE-possessives and HAVE-possessives are just accidental values of the Possessive Parameter or are intrinsically related, this book takes a comparative approach to a whole range of syntactic and semantic phenomena that appear in these constructions, including the definiteness restriction, genitive of negation, person/number agreement, argument structure and extractability. The individual case studies can be easily integrated into the Principles & Parameters framework in terms of parametric variation. Approaches to Predicative Possession is an important contribution to our understanding of predicative possession across languages, with findings that can be fruitfully extended to other language families. It is an equally useful source of information for theoretical linguists, typologists, and graduate students of linguistics.
