Definition

a strategy for the presentational possession construction in which the possessum is expressed in a subject phrase, usually the subject of a verb glossed as 'exist', and the possessor is expressed both as a topic phrase and as a locative - argument phrase (like the locational possessive strategy) coreferential with the topic phrase. Example: Eastern Tarafit lɣula ttuɣa ɣr-es idž n wəzɛuq [ogress was at-her one of little_donkey] 'The ogress had a little donkey' is an instance of the topic-locational hybrid possessive strategy: the ogress is expressed as both a topic phrase lɣula and as a coreferential locative argument phrase ɣr-es 'at her'. (Section 10.4.2)
