Abstract
"Possession is a notion which seems simple at first, but is semantically
complex at closer inspection. At its simplest, possession is the relation
between a possessor and a possessed item, the possessum. The central
type of relation seems to be one of ownership (permanent possession),
but part-whole (inalienable possession), abstract possession, and other
relations also fall under the domain of possession (Herslund & Baron
2001: 11)"
