Frisian genitives
From Old Frisian to the modern dialects
Jarich Hoekstra | University of Kiel
This article surveys the development of the genitive in Frisian. Starting from the situation in Old Frisian it discusses the fate of the genitival endings and the genitive constructions after the breakdown of the case system. Several cases of redistribution, reanalysis, refunctionalization and recultivation are presented, especially from West Frisian and Fering-Öömrang, the North Frisian dialect of Föhr and Amrum. The article tries to highlight those aspects of the development of the genitive in Frisian that might be interesting from a comparative and theoretical point of view.
