<p>utrecht</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Inalienable possession''' is the [[possessive]] relation that a person has with his body parts or properties, as distinguished from the possessive relation with things that he can give away or loose. EXAMPLE: ''John has blue eyes'' is a case of inalienable possession, while ''John has a blue car'' is a case of [[alienable possession]]. The notion of inalienable possession is also used to explicate the ambiguity of e.g. ''John broke his leg''&lt;nowiki&gt;: in the reading which is closest to &lt;/nowiki&gt;''John's leg broke'', ''his'' designates inalienable possession.<br /> <br /> === Link ===<br /> <br /> [http://www2.let.uu.nl/UiL-OTS/Lexicon/zoek.pl?lemma=Inalienable+possession&amp;lemmacode=658 Utrecht Lexicon of Linguistics]<br /> <br /> {{dc}}<br /> [[Category:Semantics]]</div>
