4.2. Possessive phrases

LSC uses different devices in order to encode possession: it uses possessive and personal pronouns [LEXICON 3.7.2], and predicative possession in the clausal domain, which includes the existential construction there-be, lexical predicates, zero marking and possessives or pronominals as predicates [SYNTAX 2.1.5]. The following subsection describes the specific mechanisms that LSC has at its disposal to encode attributive possession, that is, to express the relation between the possessor and the possessum within the noun or the determiner phrase.
