topic-locational hybrid possessive strategy
a strategy for the presentational possession construction in which the possessum is expressed in a subject phrase, usually the subject of a verb glossed as exist, and the possessor is expressed both as a topic phrase and as a locative argument phrase (like the locational possessive strategy) coreferential with the topic phrase. Example: Eastern Tarafit lɣula ttuɣa ɣr-es idž n wəzɛuq [ogress was at-her one of little_donkey] The ogress had a little donkey is an instance of the topic-locational hybrid possessive strategy: the ogress is expressed as both a topic phrase lɣula and as a coreferential locative argument phrase ɣr-es at her. (Section 10.4.2)
