Person[psor]
: possessor’s person
Person[psor] is possessor’s person, marked e.g. on Hungarian nouns. These noun forms would be translated to English as possessive pronoun + noun.
This layered feature is conveniently used for possessive inflections
of nouns, although nouns normally do not have a Person
feature,
meaning that no other layers are needed. Nevertheless, the possessive
morphology typically also includes Number
, which must be multi-layered
on nouns, and we thus have Person[psor]
together with Number[psor]
.
This layered feature is normally not used with possessive pronouns.
They traditionally have just simple Person
.
(And in some languages, possessive pronouns are actually identical to
personal pronouns in the genitive case.)
