Resumo

Bradfield has pointed out that little is known of the relationship between grammatical forms and the 'values and attitudes associated with economic activity.' This paper reports on a current research project which is exploring the relationship between possession and transitivity and property‐based societies. The author posits an evolutionary sequence of possessive verb development similar to the evolutionary development of color terms shown in the work of Berlin and Kay. [language and culture, cultural evolution, ethnolinguistics (semantics), possession (grammatical), cross‐cultural study]
