The Expression of Possession: The Expression of Cognitive Categories [ECC] 2 Introduction: In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, it is crucial to understand the process of technology evolution and its impact on human society. As we move forward into the digital age, it is essential to develop a personal paradigm for perceiving the technological process of developing modern knowledge. This paradigm will serve as the basis for the survival of humanity and the unification of people in a warring state. The Expression of Possession: The Expression of Cognitive Categories [ECC] 2 is a collection of nine original articles that delve into the expression of possession at various levels of grammar, morphology, phrasal, and syntactic, from a typologically diverse range of languages including Germanic, Oceanic, MesoAmerican, and Australian Aboriginal. The book aims to reveal the range of constructions employed cross-linguistically in the expression of possession and provide an understanding of the possessive relation itself as a cognitive and linguistic phenomenon. Chapter 1: The Possessive Relation - A Cognitive and Linguistic Phenomenon The first chapter sets the stage for the rest of the book by exploring the concept of possession as a cognitive and linguistic phenomenon. The authors examine the various ways in which possession is expressed across different languages and cultures, highlighting the need to understand the underlying cognitive processes that drive this expression. They argue that possession is not just a grammatical construct but also a reflection of our fundamental human needs and desires.
