Abstract

The present paper is devoted to the study of languages, where verbs express possessiveness
by special indicators of belonging contained in their word form.It is assumed that
possessiveness at a certain stage of development could be expressed by forms of personal
pronouns that served as its indicators.To achieve the purpose of the study, comparativehistorical, comparative and context-typological methods were used within the diachronic
approach, as well as interpretation and generalization.In many languages, verbs with special
indicators of belonging, which are possessive, enclitic forms of personal pronouns, form
possessive conjugation.The material identity of the considered indicators in verbs and nouns
shows their common origin. Apparently, in the more ancient period of speech, the subject and
the action were not opposed to each other and therefore had the same grammatical indicators.
Subsequently, as the nominal parts of speech and the verb differentiated, these single
formants were subjected to splitting: in the nominal parts of speech they remained in a
personal possessive meaning, and in the verbs they began to express subject-object
relations.The present article contributes to the development of general linguistics and is of
interest to researchers of the theory and typology of languages.
