Possessive constructions Sample Clauses

Possessive constructions. In possessive constructions, the nominal head, which is the possessed element, follows the possessor. The possessor may be a free pronoun or a noun. The possessive construction is characterized by a pitch downstep, which is only audible and marked if no low tone precedes or follows: !wa`ʔa´ TtAa´na´–xeˆ–ŋ eland POSS.horn-COLL-DEF The antlers of an eland he`su´ !'o`ro`roˇ `–n–su&` she (POSS.)frog-DEF-f Her frog There is an alternative possessive construction for free pronoun possessors in which the possessor follows the possessed noun. A possessive suffix –ı`ŋ, which probably incorporates the definiteness marker, is attached to the free pronoun in this construction. There is no pitch downstep between the elements: ʔa`a` ta´ne´=yo´o´o´ ma`la´mbo` he`so´–ı`ŋ CNJ2.3PL pull=EXCL big_trough they-POSS And they pulled the big trough of theirs. The semantics of possessive constructions are wider than strict possession, as exemplified below. There is a dependency relation between the possessor and the posessed element. The possessor may be the holder of the possessed: tshaˆŋ ma´to´ oil (POSS.)gourd A gourd of/with oil Other examples show a more abstract dependency relation between the modifier and the head, e.g. in ‘by means of …’ and in diminutive constructions ‘a small hole (lit. daughter of a hole)’: he`we´–me`e´ su´ŋ wa`ro`ŋge`e´–x–su´ŋ !'o`o´–5ı´–ʔo`ŋ mo´tho´o´ma` o`o´–ʔı`ŋ he-sake we God-COLL-we find-REC-INF intermediary (POSS.)way-INSTR Therefore the meeting of God and us is by means of an intermediary. !'waˆ ŋ o`o´–su&` hole (POSS.)child-f a small hole

Possessive constructions. Another important morpho-syntactic aspect of Turkish for agreement attraction studies is the possessive constructions. Turkish has three different possessive constructions: genitive-possessive constructions (GP), possessive free genitives (PFG), and possessive compounds (PC) as in (11a), (11b), and (11c), respectively. In this thesis, we only use genitive-possessive constructions.
