?This collection of nine original articles deals with the
expression of possession at various levels of grammar,
morphological, phrasal, and syntactic, and from a typologically
diverse range of languages (including Germanic, Oceanic,
Meso-American, and Australian Aboriginal). There are two main aims.
The first is to reveal something of the range of constructions
employed cross-linguistically in the expression of possession, and
second, to present an understanding of the possessive relation
itself as a cognitive and linguistic phenomenon. A guiding
principle in the selection of contributors has been to invite
linguists whose research, while not necessarily directly dealing
with possession, touches on it, and indicates that they are likely
to provide fresh perspectives on this well-trodden field. Key
features: William McGregor is a well known expert in this field of
research Possession is a paradigm for studies on typology,
ethnology etc., because a multitude of linguistic and cultural
varieties are reflected in this field new series textbook
