Introduction
Highlights
In the fourth and final paper, Barbara Mertins presents findings from an offline study of Czech native speakers’ interpretation of reflexive vs. non-reflexive possessives
As seen in Gunkel et al (2017: 673–719), the systems of possessives differ across languages in various dimensions; in particular, this holds of 3rd person possessives, which cannot refer to the speaker(s) or the addressee(s) and which may be structurally bound in the sense of Chomsky (1981)
The present issue covers the Ln/L1 pairs English/Polish, French/English, French/German, French/Norwegian, German/Norwegian and to a certain extent Czech vs. German and Norwegian. It focuses on the following dimensions of 3rd person adnominal possessives: (i) How many different lexical items does the system of possessives comprise, and to what extent is the choice between them determined by the number and gender of the antecedent – the possessor?
Summary
In the fourth and final paper, Barbara Mertins presents findings from an offline (questionnaire) study of Czech native speakers’ interpretation of reflexive vs. non-reflexive possessives.
