Abstract

Predicative possession is a much studied topic but much must still be done if one takes into account the extension of this kind of predication to certain semantic areas such as experiential constructions. This paper has the modest ambition to explore the possibility of using the expression of having a headache in Finnic and East Slavic languages as an interesting piece of evidence to be seriously considered as regards the vexed question of the origin of the adessive-like possessor in Russian.
