obligatory possession
Obligatory possession is a linguistic phenomenon common in languages with nouns inflected for possessor. Certain words, commonly kinship terms and body parts, cannot occur without a possessor. The World Atlas of Language Structures (WALS)〔(World Atlas of Language Structures Online )〕 lists 43 languages in its 244 language sample as having obligatory possession.〔(WALS Feature 58 )〕 Languages with obligatory possession are concentrated in New Guinea and in North and South America. Generally, obligatory possession is found throughout a family (e.g., Algonquian languages, represented by Plains Cree in the WALS sample, or Mayan languages represented by Tzutujil in the WALS sample), but not all Athabaskan languages have it. Slavey does not have obligatory possession 〔(Rice, Keren 1989 ''A Grammar of Slave''. Berlin: Mouton de Gruyter )〕 but Navajo does.〔(Young, Robert W. and Morgan, William 1987 ''The Navajo Language: A Grammar and Colloquial Dictionary''. Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press )〕 Obligatory possession is also present in the language isolate Haida.
Obligatory possession is sometimes called inalienable possession. Inalienable possession is a semantic notion, i.e., largely dependent on the way a culture structures the world, while obligatory possession is a property of morphemes.〔(WALS Chapter 59 sect 3 )〕 In general, nouns with the property of requiring obligatorily possession are notionally inalienably possessed, but the fit is rarely, if ever perfect.
