Abstract
This paper investigates horizontal as well as vertical variation of adnominal possessive constructions in rural areas in Austria. The analyses are based on a corpus consisting of (more) “free” and (more) “controlled” data. As expected, intra- as well as extralinguistic parameters control the choice of construction variants. Among other factors, the nominal realisation of the possessor, the situational context and the region turn out to be decisive factors of variation.
