{"product_id":"possession-bernd-heine-9780521550376","title":"Possession: Cognitive Sources, Forces, and Grammaticalization","description":"Bernd Heine argues that the structure of grammatical categories is predictable to a large extent once we know the range of possible cognitive structures from which they are derived. The author uses as his example the structure of predicative possession, and shows how most of the possessive constructions to be found in the world's languages can be traced back to a small set of basic conceptual patterns. Using grammaticalization theory Heine describes how each affects the word order and morphosyntax of the resulting possessive construction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bernd Heine, Heine Bernd Heine, Heine Bernd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521550378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521550376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/23\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.26h x 6.24w x 0.97d","brand":"Bernd Heine","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45478338822399,"sku":"9780521550376","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e49de0a0-d847-43ae-a710-45d44313d450.jpg?v=1715934959","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/possession-bernd-heine-9780521550376","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
