The syntactic-semantic conditions that allow the possessive interpretation arc investigated, as well as the relationship between the possessive component and the meaning of indirect affectedness. The analysis shows that both components of meaning arc present in certain constructions. Contextual and/or pragmatic circumstances may weaken one of them which results in the other one coming into focus. Although there are constructions in which the possessive component prevails the conclusion is that the possessive 10 construction is not a fully grammaticalized construction in Macedonian, but remains a contextual variation of the advcrbal IO construction.}, type={article}, title={On the posseisive interpretation of the indirect object in Macedonian}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/132902/PDF/9_SILESIANA_21_Mitkovska_POSSESSIVE.pdf}, }
