Old Russian Possessive Constructions

This book is a detailed study of the possessive semantic space within the framework of construction grammar. Using corpus data from Old Church Slavonic and Old Russian, the book uses semantic maps to document the relationship between form and meaning in a set of semantically closely related adnominal possessive constructions, and to trace their diachronic development.
