Abstract

This paper aims to describe the function of personal possessive particles in Shinekhen Buryat. In this language, nouns and verbs take a personal possessive particle. Regarding nouns, the particle indicates the person/number of the possessor (or a related person). In the case of verbs, participles and some converbs in the subordinate clause take the personal possessive particle that agrees with the person/number of the subject. Furthermore, future participles in the sentence final position sometimes take the first personal possessive particle. Such future participle sentences express the deontic meaning: “I must V” or “I have to V.” They are semantically different from the subordinate future participle clauses (“I intended to V, (but) ...”) and syntactically different from others that take personal predicative particles. We can consider the sentences with personal possessive particles in the final position as insubordinated clauses.
