TAXONOMY OF POSSESSIVE LANGUAGE MEANS IN SELKUP
The article observes classification of constructions with possessive markers in Selkup in the frame of such oppositions, as personal – impersonal, adnominal (pronominal and nominal) – predicative, alienable – inalienable, prototypical – non prototypical. 44 examples of Selkup constructions with possessive markers reveal that some of them do not have possessive meaning but rather reflect determination, identifiability, or definiteness. The usage of possessive suffixes with certain noun groups leads to their grammaticalization.
Keywords: possessive constructions, categorization, Selkup, possessive language means, grammaticallization
