Abstract

In this paper I present an analysis of the argument structure of the Russian be-possessive. I claim that the be-possessive is an existential statement with the possessor u-PP acting as an Anchor element. I extend the Anchor analysis to other u-PP constructions. I also claim that the have-possessive in Russian has a structure different from that of the be-possessive.
