N2 - This chapter studies the structural characteristics of adnominal possessive constructions in the Malayo-Polynesian languages of Southeast Asia (MPSEA). It looks into the features of basic and marked possessive patterns to highlight the variable features of MPSEA languages’ possessive constructions. Discussions have been raised regards the possessive constructions in Oceanic languages and geographical patterns among Austronesian possessive constructions. The chapter then explores the aspects of adnominal possessor constructions: order of possessor and possessum, locus and marking of possessor, patterns of differential possessive marking, and pragmatic variation in possessive constructions. It considers how geographical skewings could affect some types of differential possessive markings.
