dc.description.abstractThis paper examines the semantics and morpho-syntax of the R-relations found in Yoruba genitive constructions, claiming that such a relation can be pragmatically determined (via discourse-linking), lexically determined via the inherent meaning of relational nouns or as inalienable body-part nouns. It establishes that in Yoruba, it is possible to have a genitive relation without possession; but, conversely, all cases of nominal possession show some kind of genitive relation. It proposes a small clause vP as the base structure from which all the attested genitive constructions in the language can be derived.en_US
