TWO PROPRIETIVE FORMS IN ALUTOR

Nagayama Y.

Information About Author:

Alutor (a Paleosiberian language from the Chukchi-Kamchatkan family) has two different forms marking the proprietive: forms with the suffix -lʔ (the ‘L-proprietive’) and forms with the circumfix ɣa-…-lin(a) (the ‘Gproprietive’). In this paper, I will describe the morphosyntactic and semantic features of possessee nouns using each form and demonstrate that the L-proprietive is preferred when there is a particularly close semantic relationship between the possessor and possessee, while the G-proprietive, in contrast, is used when a speaker is interested in the (non-) existence of a possessee, and often expresses temporal possession. Additionally, I will show the difference between the predicative possession and an existential construction, illustrate the co-occurrence of proprietive with comitative prefixes, and give examples of several kinds of abessive forms in Alutor.

Keywords: Alutor, predicative possession, proprietive, inalienable possession
