- W7987757 abstract "The dialects of modern Low Saxon dispose of multiple nominal constructions to express possession. The noun phrases in (1) – (4) exemplify these four different constructions.(1) sien Huus house his house(2) Anna ehr Huus Anna her house Anna's house(3) Oma's Huus grandma=POSS house grandma's house(4) dat Huus vun de CDU house of CDU the house of Christian DemocratsAfter establishing these four constructions as a case of syntactic alternation using authentic examples taken from a one million word corpus of Low Saxon texts, I discuss role of animacy in domain of nominal possessive constructions. I examine animacy per se and several additional factors that have been connected to animacy in literature such as concreteness, person, and number. Moreover, I also take a look at possessive relation between possessor and possessum and discuss how it is connected to animacy.My research shows that animacy plays a very important role for choice of possessive construction in Low Saxon and that animacy level of possessor is much more important than animacy level of possessum. The three prenominal constructions (1) – (3) in which possessor phrase precedes possessum phrase are generally used with more animate possessors than postnominal construction in (4). This is in line with few comments on these constructions given in descriptive grammars on Low Saxon, e.g. Saltveit (1983), and with results of previous studies on possessive alternation in English (eg. Leech et al. 1994 and Rosenbach 2002). The fact that prenominal possessive constructions in (1) – (3) pattern more closely together than each does with postnominal possessive construction in (4) lends further support to Rosenbach's theory for English that influence of animacy on choice of possessive construction is based on different linear order of possessor and possessum. However, I will also show that there are some differences between prenominal constructions regarding role of animacy." @default.
