The Semantics of Possession in Natural Language and Knowledge Representation

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The semantics of possession is explored in a representative set of languages to evaluate two contemporary theories. It is evidenced that the theories describe diferent aspects of the universal possessive system, and that both provide relevant theoretical constructs for the vocabulary of linguistic typology. Our findings also have consequences for knowledge representation, and in the appendix, our new vocabulary is employed in the analysis of related linguistic phenomena.
