Explore the intricacies of predicative possession through a comparative linguistic lens. This essential volume delves into existential and possessive constructions across Slavic and Finno-Ugric languages, analysing data from diverse linguistic families. It examines key phenomena like definiteness and agreement using contemporary syntactic terms, seeking to understand the relationship between BE-possessives and HAVE-possessives. Offering fresh insights into parametric variation, this book is a crucial resource for theoretical linguists, typologists, and graduate students of linguistics seeking to expand their knowledge of cross-linguistic syntax and theoretical linguistics.
