Upper Sorbian Genitive Pronoun with Possessive Adjective Construction

Abstract

Upper Sorbian carries rich inflectional morphology within its nominal phrase. Within the nP schema, this paper deals with two different possessive adjective constructions with a genitive pronoun in Upper Sorbian. Building on Cowper & Hall (2010)’s analysis for possessive adjective construction in Upper Sorbian, this paper presents three novel hypotheses to account for gender and number features of the genitive pronoun.
