A Grammar of Turkish Sign Language (TİD)

4.2.1.1. Attributive possessive pronouns

An attributive possessive pronoun indicates the possessor of a possessive noun phrase. It can be signed with a 1-Handshape. This pronoun can precede the head noun.

 

 

             [poss(B)3                                             novel]                                                very                      interesting

 

'Her/his novel is very interesting.'

 

An attributive possessive pronoun can also follow the head noun.

 

            father                                 poss(d)3      

'Her father'

[video example]

 

There are two other possessive pronouns: one has the Flat-Handshape:

 

                                poss(x)1                                                computer

'my computer' 

 

The other has the V-Handshape with the base joint of middle finger flexed:

 

                               step_mother                                                                              poss(d)3

'her stepmother'
