The Finnish Possessive Suffixes
Language, 1980A distinctive feature of Finnish morphology is the possessive suffixes, which are found not only on possessed nouns, but also on adjectives, postpositions, and untensed verbs. Traditional grammars have taken the view that these suffixes arise through a rule of agreement with a genitive specifier, which may be subject to subsequent deletion rules.

The “Possessed Noun Suffix” and Possession in Two Northern Dene (Athabaskan) Languages
International Journal of American Linguistics, 2016This paper documents and analyzes the possessive construction in the Northern Dene (Athabaskan) languages Denesųline and Tlichǫ. The construction occurs not only when one noun is related to another (whether the relation is one of literal possession or not) but also with subsets of relative clauses and compounds, and when a numeral precedes a unit noun.

The ongoing eclipse of possessive suffixes in North Saami
Diachronica, 2016North Saami is replacing the use of possessive suffixes on nouns with a morphologically simpler analytic construction. Our data (>2K examples culled from >.5M words) track this change through three generations, covering parameters of semantics, syntax and geography.

Third-person possessive suffixes as definite articles in Semitic
Journal of Historical Linguistics, 2012One of the best-known features of Neo-Ethio-Semitic languages is the use of the third-person possessive suffix as a definite article (Appleyard 2005, Rubin 2010). In this study we show that third-person possessive suffixes are also used as definite articles in other Semitic languages, although in none of them is this function fully grammaticalized, as ...

From possessive suffix to affective demonstrative suffix in Hungarian: a grammaticalization analysis
Morphology, 2018The non-possessive uses of possessive morphology in Uralic languages have been a topic of intense debate (Fraurud 2001; Nikolaeva 2003; Gerland 2014; Janda 2015; E. Kiss and Tanczos to appear). In this paper, I focus on a special use of the poss.3sg suffix in Hungarian constructions such as a hulyeje (the stupid-poss.3sg): lit.

Definitely Not Possessed? Possessive Suffixes with Definiteness Marking Function
2013In this paper I argue that the definiteness marking function of the possessive suffix of some Uralic languages is not the outcome of a grammaticalization pathway but has always been inherent to them. The possessive suffix has thus two main functions: establishing a relation between entities or a relation between an entity and the discourse and ...

Comparative anal0 sys of suffixes of possessive case in japanese and uzbek languages
ACADEMICIA: AN INTERNATIONAL MULTIDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH JOURNAL, 2021In linguistics, the comparison of languages has always been in the center of attention. Although it is recognized by scholars that Japanese and Uzbek belong to the same language family, the Altaic language family, grammatical phenomena in both languages are not the same. While both languages have similarities, they also have differences.

Possessive Agreement Turned into a Derivational Suffix
2018This paper introduces a non-canonical type of grammaticalization: it argues that the -ik partitive suffix of Hungarian has been grammaticalized from a 3PL possessive agreement morpheme, undergoing semantic bleaching (the loss of person and number features, i.e., the loss of referential identifiability), decategorization, and morphologial simplification.

Morphological Integrity and Syntax: The Evidence from Finnish Possessive Suffixes
Language, 1987The relationship of morphological structure to syntactic functions has received much recent attention (e.g. Anderson 1982, McCloskey & Hale 1984, Stump 1984, Sadock 1985, Bresnan & Mchombo 1987). The behavior of possessive suffixes (Px's) in Finnish sheds light on this issue.
