Book Description:

This pioneering work draws on on data from over 400 languages from a wide range of language families to establish a typology of four basic types of predicative possession. It examines their interdependence with other typologies, and explores varieties of related grammaticalization processes. A vital book for scholars and students of language typology, diachronic linguistics, morphology and syntax.
