Abstract
AbstractBy integrating dialect data into typological theses on dative-marked nominal possessive constructions of the typedem Vater sein Hut, this article will continue recent approaches of both dialectological and typological research. By means of an empirical study, this article intends to not only describe the surface phenomena, but to uncover the underlying structure of this construction in East Franconian dialects. Language maps illustrate that instances of microvariation concerning the case-marking of the possessor (Wemvs.Wenvs.Wer seine Weiden sind das?) and the form of the possessive pronoun (meiner Tante ihrvs.sein Wirsing) are diatopically conditioned.
